I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It. Evelyn Beatrice Hall
That was before they had completed their plan to control every American institution, private as well as public. It was before they created and used “social media” to gain total control over speech. And it was also before they decided it was time to try to brainwash the public to believe total insanity, such as “transgenderism.”
They rode the “free speech” crusade when it benefitted them, permitting them to inject their leftist ideology into every institution, company, and communication medium. Once that was achieved, it was beneficial to their cause for them to do a 180 and clamp down on free speech in order to stifle dissent. They used free speech as a battering ram to breech the walls protecting normal American culture, and once inside they used it as a wall to lock the normal, sane people out.
It was all carefully planned.
