Here's the story of Doug Mackey, the twitter poster who helped Trump win the election in 2016, and is now being persecuted by the Biden DOJ for posting memes. He goes to trial today, and faces ten years in prison. This is the situation, and what it means for you.
Ricky rose to fame as a brilliant twitter personality. At his peak, he was more influential than NBC, CNN and the Colbert Report. He reached and energized millions.
He had a talent for making Hillary Clinton look foolish and for eviscerating journalists. President Trump was elected in part bc of the groundswell he helped mobilize. They never forgot this.
In 2018 he was doxxed and afterwards went to go live a quiet life in Florida away from the spotlight. But the incestuous trifecta of academics, journalists, and government officials that make up the Deep State hadn't forgotten him.
In 2021, mere days after Biden took office, Doug was charged with election interference and arrested by the FBI. They'd been sitting on the case and finally saw their chance to strike.
Remember, for years they had been trying to get Trump with completely false "Russia collusion" allegations. If they couldn't get Trump, they'd get one of his supporters.
He's accused of committing a crime for posting on Twitter. Specifically, the DOJ alleges that he engaged in conspiracy to defraud people of their voting rights by posting a satirical meme.
Bear in mind that this kind of joke around elections is quite common. Here's an example from 2016 that is apparently of no concern to Biden's DOJ.
He's being charged under 18 U.S.C. ยง 241, a 100-year old law written to prosecute the KKK for violence that has NEVER been extended before to speech. This has chilling implications. The U.S. government is now in the business of deciding what's a lie or what's satire.
As eminent 1A scholar Eugene Volokh explains, there is no limit to how this law could be applied. The law is also not limited to elections, it extends to anyone who 'conspires to deprive someone of their rights.'

This means that if you shared statistics about COVID, or trans surgery for example, in an effort to get a local school to disinvite a public speaker, and law enforcement decided that you lied or knowingly spread "false information," you could be charged and arrested. Imagine!
Many other disgusting overreaches too: the politically motivated timing, the petty and vindictive nature of the persecution, and the use of secret witnesses. The DOJ is bringing a secret witness who has pled guilty and agreed to cooperate. Is this America or Eastern Bloc USSR?
In short, the Biden DOJ is pulling out all the stops in an effort to crush a private citizen simply because he made them look like fools and helped President Trump get elected in 2016. They hate to be embarrassed and would rather shut up anons forever.
