Like any good tyrant, Kamala wants the government to ban speech she dislikes
American Thinker ^ | 5 Sep, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

Whether speaking in 2019 or today, Kamala’s on record wanting to have the government determine what Americans may or may not say.

As a modern tyrant attains power, he won’t just push back against opposing ideas; he’ll say they shouldn’t be voiced at all. Once he holds some power, he’ll work with friends in the government, the media, and corporations to silence opposing ideas. Finally, once he gains complete power, as his ideas invariably fail when put into practice, he must use the government’s police power to silence those who challenge him lest he be toppled. That trajectory is why it’s noteworthy (in a scary way) that, once in 2019 and again today, Kamala has stated explicitly that she believes that if she controls the government, she has the right to use its vast power to silence critics.

In 2019—that is, even before the great silencing of 2020, when speech challenging COVID policies or raising the Hunter laptop was stifled—Kamala was already mourning the fact that social media companies weren’t silencing ideas with which she disagreed:

The Hill

@thehill

Sen. Kamala Harris: President Trump "has lost his privileges and [his Twitter account] should be taken down.... [Social media sites] are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop."

Since the taxpayers are paying this Kamunist, shouldn’t they be entitled to censor her?

It is time to learn to fight back.
Any freeper lawyers here can tell me how to file a lawsuit against the government?
Like, what forms to file and where to file them?

Trump needs to make this a huge central talking point in his rallies to let independents and undecideds know how dangerous she and her ilk are. The left fully intend to remove first and second d amendment rights at some point

Censoring RFK Jr. might be their biggest mistake since Vietnam. I know hundreds of people that wanted to hear what he had to say along with Tucker.

What legal power could Trump use to curtail in any manner abortion during a second term if reelected?

Your main campaign strategy based on abortion is fraudulent.

Neither Biden nor Harris could beat RFK Jr. in a fair and open fight, so they and other Democrats cheated RFK Jr.

The Democratic Party is not an equal opportunity organization.

But not surprising, since it comes from a traitorous Demonicrat.

Wouldn’t that be sweet?

“Kamala, as a committed communist, your speech the past ten years has been subversive to the ideals of the Constitution, liberty and freedom. You are banned from X.”
