    The dictators are moving at lightening speed ...

    In little over a month we've moved from a free society to
    a censored and imprisoned one where anyone saying something
    the 'rulers' don't like is officially gagged, others of like mind are
    refused employment, and many are ridiculed in the media and
    the socials. Washington DC has been fortified and gun rights
    are under assault.
    If you think this is a nightmare during daytime, you're right. It is.
    Things will not improve any time soon, if ever. It's going to be
    like climbing into the pages of George Orwell's novel and living it.

    Why is all this happening?

          Once SCOTUS decided money=speech, speech stopped being free. It has a cost, there are consequences. The complaint, as I understand it, is that the seditious and just outright batsh*t crazy stuff isn't being dismissed offhand as hyperbole anymore. Put that on the events January 6.

            fact is the cancel culture, doxxing and my way or the highway types ( and in believe what I tell you to or you will be shouted at and called racist etc etc) have been in power for a while, and now the bought and paid for executive branch is their's too,

              The "my way or the highway" people are insisting on posting whatever they want on social media, for free, using equipment that is someone else's private property, without consequences.

                  Nobody thought that Big Brother would come in the form of ertswhile privately owned companies, but they forget that "Socialism" does not mean the government owning everything but merely the government directing and controlling everything. And nobody foresaw that the malefactors of great wealth would be on the Left.

                    slow down and read what I posted, and quote the part in context for a change, ,

                    the 3 types listed are the same,,, as in you do as I say, not as I do or you will be canceled,



                    while it is true that fakebook etc can dictate what they want since they own the site, the bias is strong,, an hypocrisy deep,

                        Makes me wonder if DT really believes in Q-Anon stuff? In #STOPTHESTEAL? If that is truly his (or anyone else's) starting reference point, then it's too wide a gap to try to bridge. One of those.....good luck with that....moments.

                          Vern, as an administrator, you are setting a poor example engaging in your sophomoric ad hominem attacks.

                          I asked a simple question, and you take the low road to attack me personally.

                          You have no honor.

                            I apologize -- but your continual snide remarks invite such responses.

                              Vern, could one consider that this "low road" is their most often traveled?
