The whole notion of taking down someone you disagree with is so un-democratic to begin with, anyone who goes to such measures is really not interested in the free exchange of political thought.

If people disagree with Trump the only proper response is to get on your soapbox and publish / speak / get out in the media, your ideas. If you make a more compelling case it is up to the voters, in fact it is the voters responsibility, to sort it out.

Shutting down opposing messages, only shows contempt for the voters, it shows you do not trust the citizens to make up their own minds.

The people who want to shut down the marketplace of ideas, in the name of promoting a free exchange of ideas, are a real threat to our form of self government.

whatever anonymous is, it is part of the leftist totalitarianism that is killing our country and persecuting our people.

You should try and engage with some uber-lefties on Facebook, if you want to get a good taste of debate shutdown; even friends from high school fifty years ago...

It gets ugly real quick; they think they’re so sure of themselves that insults are the only medium to address me...and all I really wanted from them was some reunion information...
