The tech entities see the blood in the water and truly believe they're going in for the kill shot. How they think that many people can be kept silenced is beyond me. The left likes to cling to the stereotypical image of Trump supporters as toothless Walmart denizens who simply must accept the punishment meted out to them by their enlightened comrades. They're about to find out differently.

Logistically, Google and Amazon have most likely created growing competition. Server farms financed by other entities will certainly spring up. This move to openly choke businesses out of existence will not sit well with even those who despise Trump. 

Legally, they've created a growing movement to have anti-trust laws leveraged against them. They've won the battle but will lose the war because they've exercised the very action which defines a monopoly.

For something they clearly colluded on and planned out for SO LONG, I am kind of shocked at their short sightedness of the final outcome of this. This event will recapture the heart of capitalism.

Surely after the last four years you must remember that collusion has a specific definition.
It's not clear at all to me that they planned any of this together.
Each of them has a compelling reason to do this now; they think it will curry favor with a democratic party white house and senate.
I hope the Democrats aren't that forgetful.
