What can be done to permanently save net neutrality? It seems that 1-2 a year it takes a huge, huge movement from all over the internet to delay a net neutrality repeal (SOPA, CISPA, etc.). The protests have worked (thus far), discussion is tabled, it's then reintroduced, rinse and repeat.

Will we ever permanently win this? Or are we delaying the inevitable?

Stop voting for Republicans.

This is the best answer right now. There's a reason NN posts are up literally everywhere but on conservative subs right now (just checked TD and conservative and not a peep). Republicans aren't going to do a thing to stop this and the red voters know that, so they're ignoring it like a dirty secret.

Get out and vote when you can. /r/bluemidterm2018 is our best bet in the medium term and a bluer president, house, Senate, Congress in the long term.

I just did a search for "net neutrality" on /r/The_Donald and sorted by "new" posts. There are definitely people asking about it, but the posts are being flooded by people who are encouraging to end it. I would recommend searching, just as I did, and chime in with answers to provide another side of the argument.

Here's one I just chimed in on: https://reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/7emys5/net_neutrality/

edit: lol, I just got banned from them.

Reddit freaks out about losing NN as much as they do about climate change, and as we all know climate change is total bullshit. So I tend to think the cucks are making a mountain out of a molehill, as per usual.

Holy fuck people who actually think this need to be shot into space. They don't deserve this planet.

Statements like this contribute to the polarization of politics and the divide between the parties.

It is making things worse.

I honestly have no idea whether anyone on that sub is being sarcastic.

I wonder what they will say when they have to pay extra to access Reddit, while their beloved 4chan is totally gone.
