Let's consider this from purely a business perspective. Surely Stripe has done the numbers and they stand to lose revenue from continuing to process payments for this particular website, right?

I've seen the phrase 'threat to democracy' thrown around this week to justify silencing voices. If you're afraid of what someone who thinks differently will vote for, then maybe democracy itself is the problem.

Did you object when Twitter banned accounts belonging to ISIS or Al Queda?

I respectfully disagree. When a politician and party are inciting violence, encouraging a coup, and undermining the foundations of democracy then I think we’ve crossed over the line from needing to be accepting of different views.

The election results are not in question. Biden won.

What we fear are those who wish to violently overturn Bidens legitimate win.

At this point all of this is just an old-fashioned witch hunt. Rowan Atkinson was not referring to Trump but his exact words apply here.

People's mentality has not changed even a bit since medieval times.

Wouldn't be surprised if people downvote my comment here too because they cannot accept that statement.
