This is an extremely interesting point. One could argue that the degree to which one is "platformed" is relative to the rest of society, but it's also inescapably true that if you wind the clock back 50, 100, 200 years, the level of platform someone like a presidential candidate had, was spectacularly lower.

It's weird how people are still acting as if Donald Trump has been effectively erased from existence by the all-powerful, Orwellian jackboot of the deplatformers, when here we all are in a thread whose OP is an article by NBC News covering his weblog.

I mean... we're all supposed to be terrified of the example that's been made of Trump but he seems to be doing just fine.
