People Deny Agreeing with Tulsi Gabbard but They Agree with Her

So, do high-tech social media conglomerates have enough power to influence the way the public thinks? Do these companies abuse their knowledge of what we are thinking to influence our final decisions? Do you think that these companies sometimes limit what can be found in the search engines they own? 

If so, then likely the biggest difference between you and Tulsi Gabbard is that we can trace the actual damages that she suffered as a result of the truths that were agreed upon as the premises. 

Tulsi Gabbard was the most searched candidate after the first presidential debate. However, she said that her Google ad account was mysteriously suspended and later reinstated without explanation as to why either thing happened. In her recent statement to the House weaponization committee, she cited that as having limited her opportunity to interact with people who were interested in her candidacy. So, if Google did restrict her ad account in search results, I think it is reasonable to assume that they influenced those who searched for her and found other people's opinions of her but not her statements about her candidacy. 

Most People Who Claim to be Republicans are RINOs

The first time I heard the term RINO used as an acronym for "republican in name only" was when my younger sister bandied it describing people like John McCain and Bob Dole. I have heard it used more recently by other people to describe people like Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney. 

If I were to point out to my sister that those names include three former Republican presidential nominees and the daughter of a former Republican vice president, she would likely make her indignant "pfffft" noise. She would follow that with a dismissive "yeah, sure," or some similar response to let me know that Beck and Carlson hadn't given her the correct response to that particular challenge. She, like so many other people who claim to be Republican these days, are truly Tea Party RINOs.
