The movie
was called “Friday,” a cult classic released 20 years ago. The
ghetto stoner self-parody resonates with popular culture to this day, so much
so that the movie’s assorted collection of snide asides and catchy hip-hop
phrases have worked into our everyday discourse. One of the most famous lines
occurs when a perennial mooch named Felicia approaches her two neighbors,
played by Chris Tucker and Ice Cube. Why? She wants to borrow Tucker’s car. His
response? “Hell No!” followed by an extensive tirade. Ice
Cube settles the matter more simply: “Bye Felicia.” No voice
raised, no exclamation point, not even “Bye-bye”. Just “Bye, Felicia.”

Ice Cube utters the perfect
dismissal, the most subtle yet profound way of ending the degrading
conversation. Social media has become the bane of my existence. I like how Fast Company described the
two word take-down: “It’s the perfect dismissal. It’s an evergreen
burn. It’s a formal refusal to engage with someone who’s beneath contempt.”
Today, this is exactly how I feel about Facebook, the CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and
the entire left-wing, corporate Silicon Valley phalanx.

Let me explain my first “Bye
Felicia” towards Facebook. For the past five years, I have posted my views and
ideas on this social media platform. I had to for starters because most
newspaper articles online required readers to use Facebook. Fine, I signed up,
and for about two years, I got lots of views and shares on
Facebook. I saw something, I shared something, and it was fun. And
addictive. Marketing expert and motivational speaker Simon Sinek identified
the dopamine rush that comes with likes and shares, and how this social media
invasion hurts relationships and bonding with others. I was stoned on Facebook,
man.

The addiction got worse following
Trump’s stellar 2016 victory. Social media, especially with Facebook Live,
provided a perfect means for us Trump supporters to rally against the raging
Left and put it out there for the world to see. Many of my LA County for Trump
teammates are now Internet stars. Rush Limbaugh has featured our efforts against
liberal loony town halls. Fox News, NBC, and other major media outlets have
featured our members, including photos in local as well as national press.

Working the social media angle
turned into a full-time job—without pay! I wanted to write, but the avalanche
of friend requests (which required severe vetting to avoid trolls and traps)
and the flood of direct messages derailed my focus. I couldn’t keep up.

Then Facebook began censoring and
blocking my fellow Trump supporters, even though none of the posts contained
defamatory or dangerous messages. Why were we being pulled down? One of my
fellow Latinas for Trump reported how Facebook administrators were ignoring
some heinous, violent pages, but at the same time wanted to take down my posts.
What? Indeed, Facebook had become Fascist-Book, as I had previously reported. I
say “Enough.”

I have pulled the plug. I am off the
Facebook, or should I write Fascist-Book grid. It’s all good. A private firm is
entitled to follow their own rules they choose. Milo acknowledged that Twitter
could choose to ban or not ban him, but it was beyond disingenuous for them to
advertise themselves as free speech platform, when clearly they are not. Bye
Felicia, er … Facebook!

At first, I thought that cutting off
the omnipresent platform would stunt my outreach. Not to worry, fellow
warrior-conservatives. The growing consensus among conservative media leaders
has already determined that if Facebook, Twitter, and other rising social media
platforms want to censor and suppress conservative voices, then conservatives
can devise their own media platforms, make lots of money, and change the world.
Gab.ai has turned into a viable alternative (i.e., I saw the video featuring
West Virginia Governor Jim Justice announce his political party switch
on). InfinitySN is already in the works. Shuttershot45,
an alternative media star who makes other people stars, has argued that
Fascist-book’s purge will backfire.

It already has. More leading lights
in the Free Speech movement will break away from Fascist-Book. The first major
hurdle of the Free Speech wars was won on November 8, 2016. Trump’s Subsequent
executive orders and state laws passed will ensure the protection and
enhancement of our precious franchise. Everyday people I have met tell me that
they cut off Facebook, with no adverse effects.

Now let’s talk about the power
behind the Fascist-book throne: Mark Zuckerberg. Conservative guerrilla artist
Sabo, the street-art genius who trolled Maxine Waters at her Inglewood
town hall, slammed his purported bid for President in 2020 with
another poster (see above). An open borders bigot who despises working people,
Sucker-berg opened his overwhelming social media phalanx ten years ago, only to
drag people away from real life, only to purge conservatives and push
destructive policies undermining our rights, liberties, and
opportunities. Now he’s hiring Hillary Clinton’s pollster? I
don’t need 20-20 vision to see his plans. Please run, Zuck! Drain whatever
remains of your censorious, left-wing Democratic Party.

Now let’s talk about Silicon
Valley. Who would have thought that the hi-tech industry,
so dependent on innovation and free market forces, would work so hard to
undermine them? For example, Ebay’s former CEO Meg Whitman endorsed, raised
money for Crooked Hillary. Reminder: Meg was the Republican candidate for
Governor of California in 2010.

Silicon Valley tech giants have
overestimated their influence and underestimated the American People’s outrage.
Innovation is more than a two-way street, and conservatives are taking more
territory in the culture wars, especially on social media.

Want to run for President, Zucky?
Watch us all unfriend you, too.

Want to undermine our country
because you made big bucks on Wall Street while mooching off our tax dollars?
Watch Main Street rises and take our streets back, winning face-to-face against
all the Facebook fascists.

In other words … Bye, Felicia!
