Trump threatens to 'close' down social media platforms

Or the guns rights activists barely flinching at "Take the guns first, go through due process second". Just trying to imagine their reaction if the previous officeholder had said that.

The anger at the kneeling protestors is especially revealing considering the debate centered around whether the private NFL could interfere with the expression of the players.

public expression, on the NFL's property, under the NFL's name... Nobody believes Kapernick should be denied the right to say and do what he wants to say and do, but if I take actions contrary to my employer's best interests, on company time and property, my company can't restrict my right to speak, but they can sure tell me I can't do it on their property anymore, and they can terminate my employment as well.

As for the gun issue, nobody in the gun crowd liked that comment from him. Some have even argued they're not going to vote for him going forward as a result. But when the alternative is people who literally believe that the second amendment doesn't exist, doesn't say what it says, and don't believe that the SCOTUS rulings that have come down on it have any effect, what choice do they have?

Because in Trump's case, the slippery slope of "first they came for" doesn't apply.

They know exactly who he doesn't want having guns, and why, and it's not them, and they agree, so there's a strong silence.
