From Trump On Down, Democrats Are Silencing The Opposition
American Thinker ^ | 15 Sep, 2023 | Greg Salsbury

As the Democrats expand their attacks from Trump to his advisors and, now, to anyone who dares to support him or traditional values, speech dies in America.

Following his historic federal indictment, Donald Trump correctly observed, “In reality, they’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”

Indeed, as the Democrat/Federal/Media cabal proceeds with its blatant lawlessness, banana republic indictments, frog march arrests, and kangaroo show trials, its members argue that all of this is both by the book and quite necessary—prompted by things like unprecedented, dangerous, and horrendous threats from MAGA extremists, white supremacists, terrorists, anthropogenic climate change, and attacks on democracy. Daring to speak truth about the COVID virus and treatments, about Hunter or Joe Biden, about the irregularities and illegalities that occurred in the 2020 election, the invasion of illegal aliens, mis-gendering someone, constitutes speech drawing punishments ranging from suspension or censorship, to IRS and FBI visits, to fines, or to imprisonment.

We see extensive news and analysis discussing how Republican and conservative conduct around elections (past and present) constitutes election interference, racketeering, soliciting a public official to violate his oath of office, conspiracy to commit forgery and file false documents, insurrection, making false statements, hate speech, threats to public safety, and more. President Trump and those around him, of course, receive much of this attention, but they are by no means the only ones suffering from the assault. In fact, as he has noted, he is not even the primary target.

A growing number of Americans is beginning to realize that there is another purpose to and message behind Democrats’ actions that extends to everyday people who might not like or support one or more of the things that the cabal is forcing upon them—things such as discriminatory CRT and

We’ll just keep voting in congressional elections and pretend it matters.

Early in Biden’s administration all the agencies of the federal government were directed to use their offices to get out the vote. In this case the democrat vote. Because so many agencies hand out money to mostly democrat voters.

The second thing the biden administration did was to push a couple billion dollars into non-profits to get out the vote. Again these will be mostly democrat votes. But as well, these non profits will play a significant role in getting ballots to the 7 million or so illegals who have just crossed the border. These democrat non profits will interface with the democrat federal state and local bureaucracies especially in the same democrat cities that threw the election to the democrats in 2020

Thanks for the explanation.

I’d like to think Republicans do the same thing when they’re running the show.

The R party and all its varieties haven’t learned the, “... and then they came for me” lesson.

“Its actually no legal what the dems are doing”

Have Republicans told voters about that or attempted to stop it from happening again?

Well you’re not wrong but its very doubtful there will be a 2024 election for those reasons. 2020 has to be fixed first and the entire corrupt government has to be cleaned out. It will likely take four years to do it. I think that may be what Trump means by the Four year pause he keeps talking about.
