N-word, please. That was going to happen anyway - but slowly. Social Media was banning conservatives since the 2016 election. I was banned from Twitter 50+ times and I was a Democrat Bernie bro type that was supporting Trump and had an account that had thousands of followers before Trump ran for office - as soon as went pro Trump on my non political account I was banned for life because I might be an influencer - immigrant for Trump that knows pop culture? Can’t have that..........

Having our free speech banned on social media can at least be counteracted by finding a different platform to post on. That's not the kind of free speech suppression that scares me.

What I worry about is seeing the speech codes that every college enforces being adopted by the Federal Govt, with a compliant, packed SCOTUS rubber-stamping every oppressive new law squashing free speech that a Dem House + Senate + WH cares to pass.

They'll start gradually by first banning types of speech that most people find abhorrent. Because that way, anyone fighting against the new law on the basis of free speech principles can easily be painted as actually being a fan of that abhorrent type of speech.

Then all the happy froggies sit there in the pan of nice warm water as it slowly heats.
