It’s a neat trick, if you can get away with it.
Punish, censor, debank, demonetize, slander, impose damaging and arbitrary rules that ruin lives and cause immeasurable harm. Use your policies to gain political advantage and monetary gain, and when the grift gets exposed…shrug, say it was a minor error, and garner applause for political bravery.
You get all the benefits you can grab from imposing horrible policies, and you get all the benefits from doing a U-turn and showing political “growth.” Rinse, repeat.
I wrote in May of 2020 that the data showed there was political bias in coverage Fl’s DeSantis & NY’s Cuomo, Blue Anon accused me of being a DeSantis apologist (he was hiding deaths, they claimed)
