A major political candidate gets blocked on all the major social platforms.

He has his own publicity team and press. Am I supposed to sympathize?

A social network which has rapidly become a viable competitor to Twitter gets shut the hell down without further explanations.

Amazon, Apple and Google are private (as in non-government) companies. What happened to "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" that rightists like the authors of Parler keep spouting?

Meanwhile, your politicians are putting together lists of people who have voted for the aforementioned candidate, threatening them with unemployment and persecution.

Wut? They're putting together lists of people who attempted a coup on the capitol, threatening them with unemployment and persecution.

One of the most trending hashtags on Twitter becomes “#HangPence” - which definitely doesn’t sound hateful and bigoted, in the slightest.

Source on anyone other than right wingers saying that? I've not seen reports of that.

Millions of people who have come out to protest peacefully in front of the Capitol are now associated with ANTIFA’s

FBI says otherwise: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/fbi-trump-riot-congress-antifa-b1784736.html
