Sounds like some social media companies are adding fact checks to Trump's lies, so this is an attempt at using the government to establish political censorship. He ought to have lots of legal trouble with this one.
Except that large gatherings of any kind are as unsafe as if there were a secret police agency watching and recording everything, and people seem to disappear without a trace... except that the danger is of a destructive, insidious, and highly-communicable virus... people would be protesting this. I would, even if we had a Stasi, KGB, or Mississippi Sovereignty Commission snooping around.
We need to take this President down in November, and before that we need to gut his authority in every way possible. I think of a slogan that fits this time well:
ABORT FASCISM NOW!
Yes, Donald Trump really is a fascist pig. He made the mistake of trying to purge the GOP before shutting down the Democrats, which is the one thing that he got completely wrong in his attempt to establish a dictatorship.
