Amazing!
I didn’t realize it but the name says it all. “guard” is a synonym for defense, or sentry, or protection. So they are going to protect the people from information. Whatever information they don’t like.
If only Orwell could see how de-centralized propaganda and censorship really got implemented. He’d have to admire how very clever it really is.
Yep. They commonly say this is necessary “because reality doesn’t care what Republicans believe”.
Which is to say that “reality” is whatever Democrats believe.
They really have the balls to come right out and say stuff like this out loud!
Because they control the media and know there’s nothing we can do about it.
