In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials.
House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.
Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Seems like an open invitation to “skip past the talking phase”.

These Virginia legislators act like rabid weasels.
Everyone knows how to handle rabid animals of all kinds.

Tuesday should’ve been cleansing day. No point to assembling patriots if tyrants are left in place and in charge.

Scratch a Democrat, and you will find a Fascist right under the surface.

Only a few are, since they for the most part hate Fascism. All the others, the bulk, are dyed in the wool or openly communists - which are far worse, having been responsible for the murder of over 150 million people during the 20th century

The home of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison? Yeah, these Democrat people are batsh*t crazy. Virginia is already in rebellion on 2nd Amendment rights. Do these Democrats think this sh*t will make anything better? They are insane.

Yeah, they hate getting their own hands dirty, but are perfectly fine with their fellow travelers being Fascists.
The decent people left the democRat party decades ago.
Fascism is a tricky term, in that it references government controlling big business, as I understand it.
The term has pretty well come to stand for totalitarian oppression in todays perceptions.

communists are fascists.
I know we have been taught that they are opposites on a continuum
But they are joined at their extremes, it is a circle, instead.

This is why I revere Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco. They were front line soldiers in beating down and defeating communists.

I agree and the term Leftist Totalitarian Fascist fits the bill.

Once again, dems try to do away with the First Amendment.
And the Second.
Why not just throw them all out and start over? Soros can write our new constitution.
No sarc tag on that. He started a group to do it.
