    There is literally a law that prevented things like posting “this shutdown is caused by radical left democrats” on the banner of official governement websites

    It has literally never been done before

    You can make an argument for some amount of propaganda that lives in everything but nobody ever posted a picture of a bag of cocaine and used it to blame a previous president….

    This is magnitudes above anything that was done before it’s like comparing casual trash talk to sucker punching

      You are correct. It is drilled into every us gov employee that you can’t even hint to political messaging on any official documents presentations or social media for public service. The us gov resources serve the American people, not the politicians. It’s strictly illegal, there are no grey area for interpretation.
