Tell me aqain who the censors are

I would say people in power who are threatened by ideas. History bears this out pretty uniformly.

She probably has no power but she (or her ilk) used to be and she hasn't quite internalized the shift.

Note too that YOUR censorship is authoritarian, MINE is about safety or order, depending on my stripes.

My censorship is about PEACE and LOVE and and I'll kill you all if you say it isn't.

My censorship is about PEACE and LOVE ...

Does it include gay love?

I skimmed through the video of the public comments. You're pretty accurate. Most of the comments were along the lines of "TP USA is a threat, look at the evidence!" and then the evidence they would cite would basically be words or messages they don't like. That TP USA says trans people have mental issues, or TP USA dehumanizes with their posters... Many of the speakers were parents with LGBT kids in the high school. I find it a bit ironic that a year ago they would want compelled speech (e.g., call my kid by their preferred pronoun!) and now they are against free speech. I guess there is a theme, there.

I’m sure she has death threats before but probably feels she needs to take these more seriously.

Speaking of censorship, props to the ABC reporter who asked Trump about both Epstein and the Saudi murder of the journalist.

He wasn't best pleased, and said ABC should lose their broadcast license. I guess we should be grateful he didn't suggest the woman should be killed and dismembered, like his new found best buddy sitting next to him might have done. Allegedly.

Yes, sadly there are only so many people that can fit into the PEACE and LOVE subset.

apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement.

Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.
