The silence of the FCC actions from trump supporters speaks volumes.

Err? So you are saying their silence indicates they are really against this decision? If that's what you are saying (and I admit I'm not sure what you are saying) I think you are mistaken.

Trump supporters believe what the right wing media tells them. And I have little doubt the removal of Net Neutrality rules are being characterized as a liberation of the little guy from excessive federal regulation.

It's like when Republicans support repealing the inheritance tax, which applies only if you inherit more than $5M. That law will never apply to 99% of Republicans.

Oh you mean the DEATH tax? (Dumb bastards read that and go "oooh death? I don't like that, that could happen to me!) As if there were any better person to tax than obscenely rich dead fucks.

They're also really good at re-branding laws. You can pretty much be sure that even though the house congressional budget office has no fucking clue how much Trumpcare will cost, the fact that it's called something like the America Freedom Health Bill or some shit means that it is robbing the poor to pay the rich.
