Caldwell’s campaign said they received a message from Facebook, which said: “Not Approved: Your ad can’t promote the sale of weapons or ammunition.” He responded, “Facebook’s liberal agenda is keeping our campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture from sharing our message.

I suspect they are about to be broken, the fake likes, clicks, bad reports, and censorship are about to explode in their faces. Finances, for all of them, from advertisers, deep state, and msm support/collusion is all hitting the wall. Americans are about to win, or deep state is going to attempt a coup. Either way, big tech doesn't care and seems to be doubling down.
