Despite multiple attempts to pay for Facebook ads promoting a ‘Back the Blue’ event launching a bottle series dedicated to first responders, Loaded Cannon Distillery says they keep getting denied, so they will promote the event the old-fashioned way.

Moving law enforcement from the local folks (who are accountable to the citizens around them), to a National Force that lives on a base post, undercover agents monitoring dissent, paid informers.
The Left's vision of policing will be the STASI.
That would actually be very analogous to how the Pretorian Guard evolved in Ancient Rome. In its later form, the Guard was expanded, lived in barracks outside Rome, and was answerable only to the Emperor. Of course, one the Pretorian Guard realized the power they had, they turned the tables and controlled the Emperor. In one case, they actually setup a biding war to purchase the right to be Emperor.
We are there now. President Trump was the last non-puppet President, and even then, his actions were curtailed at every step.
Jao Xiden is our Claudius, but one lacking all competence and decency.
Back to the attack on our local police....National Police forces would live on a base like military personnel (with maybe a few living in the local town). Their down time and other recreation would be on post. They would only go into the neighborhood to perform their law enforcement duties. If anyone complained, they might could go to the base commander....if the person harmed had enough political and/or financial pull. Otherwise, it's basically Secret Police rounding up dissidents, maintaining a log and paybook for Informers, and instilling fear into the community so they'll conform to Government edicts.
Facebook is alive because there are conservatives still using Facebook.
If every one of you left it would die overnight.
I don’t get it. We’re the majority. Far more than half the country.
The Founders who wrote the Federalist Papers had a lot to say about the dangers to liberty which came from the existence of a “standing army”.
Modern people don’t understand that, back in their day, the “Redcoats” also operated as enforcers of the King’s laws. Modern “law enforcement” is the standing army” the founders tried to warn us about.
The founders preferred a system where the people were armed, and would act to arrest lawbreakers and bring them to the magistrate for trial.
Are you suggesting Trump was Caligula?
Are Americans still involved with Facebook?
Really?
WHY????
If you refuse to have anything to do with Facebook, whatever they do or don’t do immediately becomes as personally unimportant as it is objectively trivial. Plus you get many hours of your life back. When many other people do this, Facebook either changes its ways or goes out of business. People are no longer doing the “work” (posts and views) that demonstrates the attention that Facebook monetizes.
Turning your personal commo over to a low-grade video game makes bad psychology for individuals and bad sociology when masses of individuals play along. Was there ever a belief that a business that promotes and capitalizes upon a social mistake would use its power in redemptive ways? Is there a case for sensible adults engaging with or caring about this foolishness? What is it? I’d be interested to know.
I check it for granddaughter photos, and to check on a dying friend. Only way I can get photos or check on him he’s terrible weak little body control. Trudeau wants to put him down like you would a dog, no medical care. Quit posting. Moved to MeWe.
Is MeWe a competitor of FB?
If that is the case than good for you.
At the rate of facebook, and other social media’s efforts to silence opinions and anything they don’t want they’re successfully getting away with this.

You get it for free but the quality sucks. You have no say in how it works. The guy who runs it gets rich. There's no real competition. You have no privacy. And if you say one thing they don't like they'll shut you up. |

As close to it as you can get, They have singles, groups, you are not censored. You can chose basic or premium. No way to tag people. But if you belong to a group (s) all will see what you post. Like FB you get there friends, you can ignore or reply to. People eager for knowledge.
I started with me and a few family and facebook friends, joined 1 group, then if you are contacted you can look at their profile to see if they fit you, accept or decline. Easy to get block if they become offensive. You will know how many followers they have.

this is my page.
Not to hard to learn, better than Parler was, lots of information like on FR. I try to stay away from those who just post Memes with no story. They do a good job on privacy, and removing offensive usually Meme posts. But Nothing beats FR. Not had it go down yet, other than we are getting new underground lines and lose the Net for awhile.
COVID has a lot of info posted, stolen election, Constitution especially 2nd A. Your state might have a page someone started.
Some news actually allows you to share their articles easy. Add photos, Memes. You can archive what you post.
