I am not sure that you are in silent majority. Most people agree that Twitter should have banned Trump long time ago and are relieved that they finally did that. Since the majority do believe Trump incites violence, Twitter and Facebook etc. felt okay going ahead with banning him.

I still haven't heard a rational argument against banning Trump on Twitter. All free speech bullshit, which has been explained (why it is nonsense) for many years.

You said it. You are not sure.

Look. I speak for myself. And people I know. And the majority of people in MY circle are silent and confused and scratching our heads.

There is literally no evidence that ‘most people agree that Twitter should have banned Trump long time ago’. Are you speaking for ‘most people you know’ or ‘most people in the world’?

I am going to assume it’s the former. Point taken. Thanks for engaging.
