    What fake news? A political candidate with stamina and great health gives a speech in different states and cities all over the USA.
    During the election the votes in every state get counted under party supervision and a winner in the different states wins.
    Social media did not sway voters. Seeing and hearing a real political leader in their own state mention topics they wanted to listen to wins US elections.
    Not talking down to many voters from a few elite costal states wins state elections all over the USA.
    Remembering what state a political leader is in and recalling a good personal story about that state wins election in that state.
    Having the energy and good health to give a long speech and respond in a positive way to voters, questions and the media all over the USA wins elections.
    All social media can do is reflect on the reality of a winner and a different type of candidate who is negative and who cant give a good speech.

    Want to win a US election? Have a candidate who can travel and give a great speech in person and listen to people all over the USA.
    Talk about jobs, healthcare, freedom, the good aspects of ever US state. Voters remember who was nice and talked to them in person. Who spoke down to their state in a short press statement from the elite coast.

    One monopoly telco in each state to get campaign finance from?

    If the federal NN rules stop then every state would have its own new networks. Some states with more skill and better state and city governments would allow the private sector to create impressive local networks.
    Walled communities, wealthy parts of some towns, states would attract skilled people, new innovative business would grow in states with the best new telco systems.
    Other less skilled states would be left with their paper insulated NN monopoly telcos as their spending goes to welfare payments in their cities and states.
    How to make everything equal, politically correct all over the USA?
    Federal NN rules keeps the monopoly networks all over the USA equal so none of the better, smarter states can show what political and network progress and innovation can look like.
    Federal NN rules hold the USA back to a paper insulated wireline NN network so all US communities in every state are kept socially equal.
    No state with good leadership can create its own advanced new networks and become the place in the USA to invest in.

    Common sense would have seen the US filled with new community broadband and innovative regional ISP competing on service quality without federal NN rules to block them.
