"The conspiracy theories, the lies, the distortions, the overwhelming amount of information, the anger encoded in it -- these all serve to create chaos and confusion and make people, even nonpartisans, exhausted, skeptical and cynical about politics. The spewing of falsehoods isnt meant to win any battle of ideas. Its goal is to prevent the actual battle from being fought, by causing us to simply give up
.Trumps election put him in the position to operate directly through Fox News and other conservative media outlets, like Rush Limbaughs talk-radio show, which have come to function in effect as a party press, the Harvard researchers found.Is that not pure one-hundred percent projection?! We went through over two years of an investigation and an impeachment based on nothing but a false intelligence report. We have endured lie after lie after lie about President Trump and his Administration which always come to nothing or simply get disappeared down the memory hole. Now with hard evidence against Hunter Biden which also implicates his no-good father, they are trying to disappear that too.

The purpose of free speech is to further democratic participation
.Who says so?! The purpose of free speech is free speech, an open and wide-ranging of discussion of ideas and principles which is essential in a democracy (or more correctly a representative republic). But the principle of free speech goes far beyond that of political speech.
