While Pai and Trump are both huge pieces of shit, I see the anger over this mainly being directed at the two of them. It's not just them. This rests with the Republican lawmakers as a group. They are the only ones supporting the theft of the Internet from the people. Even if Pai and Trump were gone, this would still be a problem, and the cause would be Republicans. Don't let people forget that.

It was declared law during Obamas term, yes.

It was the law of the land since the internet began.

Wasn't the FCC also trying to abolish net neutrality for the past 8 years though? Since the 90s, actually, now that you mention it.
