I saw a horrific racist on Parler a moment ago. I immediately went to his Tweet to report him & have him banned...

There it is. The end of Freedom of Speech. If people can censor & deplatform those they disagree with...

Where does it end? The ultimate slippery slope. "Hate Speech" gets reclassified to anything upsetting to hear. Now any speech that is to the right of Socialist is considered wrong, evil & dangerous.

The rampant censorship is what is dividing America.

#LiberalBias ensures that only Leftist views can be shared freely, thus manufacturing consent and furthering cultural indoctrination. Think this doesn't matter? Look at China.

The Silent Majority is being muzzled.

How do we fight back? We grow up.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," -Evelyn Beatrice Hall (1906)

If something is offensive to us, we can be adults & walk away or personally block them on social media. We are judged by the company we keep.

But we certainly don't need to censor them. It will never stop at just social media censorship. We said nothing when Conservatives were deplatformed. Then statues started being pulled down. Then police started being defunded as they were deemed offensive.

We are far too coddled. This probably started when the draft was abolished in 1973. Victimhood has become a staple of American culture. Mental & physical illnesses are now viewed as permanent identities, rather than challenges to be overcome when possible.

We are living as the world's oldest & most fragile adolescents. As Kellyanne Conway succinctly said, "Suck it up, buttercup!"

We must start protecting the First Amendment at all costs, no matter how much we disagree with some statements. Today.
