"Peter" has some thoughts on the Rico statues.
An example of a civil RICO case.
The current situation is that the main stream media, the social media and the Department of Justice have all conspired to favor democrats and shrug off conservatives as "right wing extremists" bent on overthrowing the government by any means necessary. The only possible ally conservatives have is the federal courts, primarily the Supreme Court.
But the courts are not proactive. They must be provided with well written complaints that not only spell out the violations, but also establish standing to file the complaint. If the law is followed the courts will act. If they act wrongly we will get to the SCOTUS.
As an example, the law allows for the filing of a RICO complaint by a civilian if the civilian establishes that he/she/it has been damaged or injured by a conspiracy of individuals or corporate/governmental entities falling within the conspiracies defined in the RICO law, such as denial of Constitutional rights, corruption of government entities or individuals, etc.
For a start, conservative political donors should pool their resources to file a multitude of targeted lawsuits against specific entities and individuals in charge of social media platforms and government entities and individuals that conspired with them to censor and deny freedom of speech for those who have been censored and denied free speech on publicly accessible platforms. File lawsuits in every state with different plaintiffs in each case. In the complaint demand that social media platforms be declared public utilities subject to the same regulations as gas and electric companies. Demand that they be shut down for denying service without justification.
The GOP has dropped the ball in this regard because they are politicians, when what we need are blood-thirsty lawyers hungry for a win and the celebrity that would come with it. RICO is the right answer for this problem.
Why hasn't the GOP already filed these lawsuits, what are they afraid of? They're afraid of Trump! They don't want him to get a leg up on 2024, so they're sacrificing 2022. Either ignorance or stupidity is the apparent driving force in the GOP leadership. Or worse, selfishness.

Why aren't they (GOP) filing suits against mask mandates? Our kids need a break from their (DNC) tyrannical orders. Liberal governors and mayors are drunk with power since Biden won and they need to be brought back into reality.

I received some sad news this morning. "Ernie" is in the hospital with Covid, and he has slipped into a coma. The prognosis is grim.
