    Consider this … next elections the opposition of Trump wants to put out commercials and videos of how trump’s policies hurt America…

    But the FCC has them all pulled in name of Trump because they “mislead the American public” … so only pro trump commercials everywhere…

        Russia, Iran, and North Korea still have elections.

        They will be held. They might not matter, but voting booths will open.

      The only reason I think this isn’t a possibility is because of the money and legality.

      The companies that take the ad money wouldn’t turn it down.

      Any company who refuses to air said ads would be sued. Not the administration, but the companies themselves. Into oblivion. They wouldn’t risk that.

      The majority of political ad spending was all online in the past 4 cycles anyway. That’s just where the eyeballs are at. Put enough ads that say “This is how you stop Trump”, and it’s a done deal hopefully.
