“Getting silenced on X is, and I realize how absurd it sounds, the worst professional fate a Trump official can face. It signals that [Greg] Bovino is no longer a player in an administration that has, from top to bottom, merged a social-media-first worldview with authoritarian tendencies. I like to call it the clicktatorship. Political appointees in the clicktatorship are not just using online platforms as a mode of communication. Their judgment and decision making is hyperresponsive to what’s happening on the far-right internet. They view everything as content. No one better exemplifies the clicktatorship than the president himself.” (02/03/26)
