They already have it. With some oligarchs running social and classic media. There is no need to build a real wall if 98% are already living in self-imposed cages.

Lol a low fence and some warnings about DEI and Woke would be enough to stop 25% of this country from even venturing outside the safe zone.

I have news for you: it already exists. It's still more or less dormant, but all it would take is one order to activate.

It's called CloudFlare.

Id be happy because the rest of the world would now have massive gaps in the tech space allowing better companies to take over and innovate again in the space this time under stronger (likely European or Chinese) rules

if it would happen every major company in the united states would pull out to another country.

as per a hypothetical scenario? I'd probably just move. I already dealt with enough racism on other platforms run by american Nazis it would be even worse in a closed subset lol
