“They want everyone to believe what they believe. When Trump changes his mind about something, then you need to believe that, too. It’s functionally a totalitarian political view that says, ‘You’re allowed to think and say what I want you to think and say.’”

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
