THE PURGE OF CONSERVATIVE VOICES PROCEEDS APACE
Powerline ^ | 01/12/2021 | Paul Mirengoff

America’s institutions are using the invasion of the Capitol building by a relatively small number of extremists as a pretext for carrying out a purge of conservatives that they have long desired. The barons of the social media world are leading the charge, but others are following.

The latest conservative victim of the purge is Rep. Elise Stefanik, a member of Congress. Harvard has removed her from the Kennedy School’s Senior Advisory Committee. The Kennedy School is Harvard’s public policy institute.

The decision to sack Stefanik was made by Doug Elmendorf, dean of the Kennedy School, along with Mark Gearan, the school’s director. Elmendorf was a high level official in the Clinton administration, working under Janet Yellen, Joe Biden’s selection for Secretary of the Treasury. Gearan served also served in the Clinton administration and was a high level staffer on Clinton’s 1992 campaign and Mike Dukakis’ campaign in 1988.

Harvard couldn’t remove Stefanik based on anything inappropriate she said about the rioting at the Capitol. So instead, it seized on her statements regarding voter fraud in the presidential election.

And just like that, the left was able to psychologically manipulate half the country to enthusiastically cheer Big Tech's power to control what we see and hear, to define an entire political position as dangerous and thus requiring suppression, and to support canceling, firing, expulsion, defunding, etc. based on what a person THINKS ... only because they did it in the name of taking down Trump.

The dumbing down of the schools and our bread and circuses society has brought us to this point. And the unrelenting legalization of every mind-altering and anesthetizing drug known to man will keep everyone too sedated and apathetic to care.

Graham, McCain is there a difference? I just can’t believe that Trump or any of us would have overlooked at maybe after affects to our movement? Where they could pretend we attacked the building and what did they say feces all over, that is either antifa or just bs
