President Donald Trump has built a coalition by promising to demolish a so-called deep state that he claims is behind dark government conspiracies.

A decision by Twitter and Facebook to ban former President Donald Trump a year ago has prompted many conservative social media users to join new platforms that claim to offer a refuge from overzealous content moderation.

Medics transport a supporter of President Donald Trump to an ambulance after he was attacked by counter-protesters in San Francisco on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020. About a dozen pro-Trump demonstrators were met by several hundred counter-protesters as they tried to rally. Team Save America organized the rally to protest Twitter, which it said squelches conservative speech. The San Francisco Police Department said three officers suffered non life-threatening injuries when they were assaulted with pepper spray and caustic chemicals. “I love America, I love this country and I love free speech,” he said.
