MAGA Wants to SHUT DOWN MeidasTouch After Win… Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network May 14 By Ben Meiselas Hey Meidas Mighty. It’s like clockwork with Trumpers and MAGA. After we hit a major milestone or big win, they attack us and call on their dear leader to try and shut us down. Following the announcement by the Webbys that the MeidasTouch Podcast won Podcast of the Year, we were hit with more attacks and calls by Trumpers to shut us down. We were also targeted by an account on this Substack that tried to steal our identity and harass our supporters here. Thank you to everyone who brought this to our attention so we could report and ban that offending account immediately. It also seems that during our live shows, the trolls and harassers have picked up in a coordinated effort since the Webby win. A special thanks to our moderators for banning all these accounts that try to interfere with the viewing experience. We appreciate your help so much. I’ve only been working off a few hours of sleep since I’ve been in New York, so I hope you don’t mind if I keep this post short. I want to thank you all for having our back throughout all of this. This is a fight we must win—and will win—together against Trump and his fascist regime.
