Irony: pro-Trump message board (JPR) complains about threat to net neutrality.

Obviously I'm going to get flamed for mentioning JPR by the "leave Britney alone" contingent, but, yeah, I do check in on places like JPR and FR from time to time to see what the crazies are talking about. So just now I clicked on JPR, the board that was launched by former trolls that were pushing Trump and Stein over here on DU.

And, irony of ironies, there's a big thing that flashes up warning about the impending threat to net neutrality. Seriously, what did those morons expect to happen when they voted for Trump/Stein?

The point is, they all knowingly voted against net neutrality last November with their Trump/Stein votes. It's not some big surprise that Trump wants to end net neutrality. It's like punching yourself in the nose and then complaining that your nose hurts.

If both of us can get squeezed out, financially, by big rich media outlets.. who will see either of us?

5. But that's the thing. People like that can claim to support the same kinds of policies

support for net neutrality. Obviously they are completely clueless about the consequences of their votes, I do not consider them allies.
