Donald Trump being banned from social media from social media only energized Republican voters against the Democrats. President Joe Biden’s approval rating fell after the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan. Donald Trump was reinstated on social media on September 1, 2021, at 1:30 pm and later joined Parler. On September 1, 2021 at 7:30 am rockstar Ted Nugent posted a photo shoot killing President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Congressman Ted Lieu, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Hunter Biden, Liam O'Mara, Jen Psaki, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Congresswoman Shontel Brown, Robin Diangelo, Ibram X.

Cardi B, Meghan Stallion, Lil Nas X, T.I., Ken Klippenstein, Harry Styles, Krissy Tiegen, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg and Olivia Rodrigo were offended by Candace Owens's take claiming she crossed the line and that they're children were traumatized by it. Candace Owens responded by claiming that Ted Nugent is not responsible for what they're children watch and need to be responsible parents and enjoyed seeing them suffer in pain. Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Adam Mosseri, Sundar Pichai, and Susan Wojicki apologized for banning Donald Trump from social media and making him a martyr allows him back on. Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Adam Mosseri, Sundar Pichai, and Susan Wojicki decided not to deplatform Ted Nugent out fear of making him a martyr.

Ever since the Ted Nugent controversary, Joe Biden's approval rating falls down to 30% and creates a massive civil war within the Democratic party which will helped Republicans win the house and senate in 2022. Joe Biden's honeymoon period eventually wore off and the economic recovery was poor with gas prices rising which continued throughout the rest of 2021 to the 2022 midterms and inflation rising costing Democrats the house and senate in the 2022 midterms. After the Ted Nugent did his graphic photoshoot, people viewed Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci as snowflakes and public opinion turned against them.
