Bullying?

Oh, That’s easy.

All views that fail to support today’s Politically Correct religion of convenience.

So who gets to “pick” what is or not and by ‘whose standards?’

Frankly if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen!...

“I guess that will force Hogg to stop using it.”

Typing in MAGA will likely get accounts yanked. Good thing I don’t have an account.
