Do you think the top down control of the web greatly accelerated before or after the Trump election? If so how do you think the Trump Election influenced it?

It picked up after trump. But it has been happening for ever. In 2012, Ellen Pow was hired to basically destroy Reddit, top down. And that’s what they did.

The trump presidency gave them a “excuse” for mass too down control.

Do you think Trump was in on it or do you think he was legit wanting to take the powers back? His Union of the Nation speeches seems to check out compared to the left's f'ked up ones.

I think being president is complicated. And trump honestly thought he could make a difference, while preparing to line or actually lining his own coffers.

You mean the 1 whole dollar he took as Presidency? I'd hardly call that lining his coffers but I think he came in wanting to fix it which he double crossed Hillary. The OP was to purposely lose and have Hillary win and make the Republicans look bad. He succeeded at that part (Making Republicans look bad) because he not only bad mouthed the left he also tore the right lumping them into one coal bag not allowing anyone to work with him which any wise general knows to have allies is a wise decision and keep an eye on them (both eyes actually) lest they betray you.

He got Covid in the end and seemed to always be out of it.
