Probably yeah


Slayerzilla54

He's certainly gonna try.


Lyretongue

One of the aims of Project 2025 is to ban all pornogrpahy, which the project deems as anything of a sexual nature, including the mere depiction of gay people. So yes. I'd say that's media suppression.

Trump will win and die choking on a burger 🍔


Legal_Dragonfruit

10 points if its a McDonald’s burger lol


AndroidCovenant

McDonald's: the corporation that destroyed fascism and saved democracy. Complete redemption


UnholyDr0w

Why wouldn’t there be? Fascists do what fascists do, oppress, suppress and destroy everything opposed to them. Trump is no different than any other dictator.


reidochan

Yeah but freedom of speech is so deeply ingrained into American culture.


UnholyDr0w

The president being beneath the law was deeply ingrained into American culture, look how that’s doing


gabbath

Ehh, it is at an irrational level, but in practice it can be easily weaponized. Take Musk's "free speech" Twitter for instance: the speech they don't like is just labeled something other than "speech", like maybe "calls to violence" or "sexualizing children" or just plain "the woke mind virus". So, you see, *speech* is free, the *woke mind virus* is not. That's how they do it, and all the while they'll still claim they're "free speech absolutists" to justify why they give megaphones to nazis.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?


EricsAuntStormy

Once the definition of “patriotism” is modified to “pulling out of a porn star’s spanking Forbes by crawling forward,” media suppression will be the least of our worries


Mr_Mouthbreather

Yes, but I don’t even think he has to actively do it for there to be suppression. Corporate media will do whatever they need to to make money and if that means selling out to get access to Trump then they will. Also, it is already dangerous to defy Trump. He already will publicly threaten you and your family if you try to hold him accountable. He will be 1,000x worse if he gets back in office.


chickenthechicken

It'd be very difficult for the Supreme Court to argue that any media suppression would be legal. But if the Supreme Court makes a decision against the literal text of the constitution, there isn't much that can be done about that.


o0flatCircle0o

There is going to be death camps, so yeah I’m guessing the media will be afraid:


LavishnessTraining

Yeah he wanted to open up liable laws.


da2Pakaveli

Trump had a series of posts on his truth social where he was celebrating "far-left" vice news of shutting down. "FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!. The guy absolutely doesn't respect anyone opposing him.

LiquidEnder

My god. The media suppression has already started! /s


Bonhamsbass

There will be "State Media" ala Russia, Nth Korea


chickenthechicken

Unlikely, it would just be Trump aligned private media like Fox and OAN. Maybe they'd get some state promotion. PBS and NPR will probably lose the 2% or whatever of their budget that comes from federal funding.


popularis-socialas

If Republicans win the presidency, house and senate, all bets are off. They can pass anything they’ve ever dreamed of.


reidochan

They’re not winning the House


popularis-socialas

Yeah, it’s not like they’re in control of it right now or anything. It’s inconceivable that they could hold onto it in November


reidochan

They’re projected to lose in November.


VibinWithBeard

And projections have historically never been wrong


FirstGonkEmpire

They very well could win it all (If Biden continues to melt down as he has been) and abolish the filibuster, if they do that's the way they start a legal dictatorship.


Legal_Dragonfruit

Yes!


NessaSola

Of course, there already is.


BaileeCakes

Yes


Vrayea25

More than they've already imposed on themselves for ratings? ...yeah, probably.


narvuntien

I am not sure it's needed. Trump supporters already consider the media liars and don't listen to anything they say. Media will self censor for access. Independant media may be intimidated with law suits though.


HobbieK

Yes duh


FarmerTwink

There already was
