Speaking as an immigrant: this is bullshit. I've heard a lot of far-righters talk about restricting NEW immigration and deporting illegal immigrants, but have never once been party to a conversation when they implied that I or my family should be deported.

Aside from the feeds of a few dozen Twitter edgelords, the discussions you're imagining (or want us to imagine) do not exist and are a strawman argument.

How would this be materially different from just walking over to Ajit Pai's house and physically cutting his cable? It's targeting a specific individual to deny them the use of their property; pretty sure that's a felony, but either way it has nothing to do with Net Neutrality.

Corporations using their power and resources to threaten and manipulate the federal government - yeah, that's something we need lots more of.
