The Trump supporters like to bitch that Facebook has been censoring their opinions, especially during 2020 and 2021. They felt the same way about Twitter until Elon turned it into a hell hole.
Trump and his supporters complained that the 2016 election was rigged even after he won.
They’ll say anything to claim victimhood, most often when the opposite is true.
Yeah, I remember that. Unfortunately, I know Trump supporters who still think the elections were rigged.
