Democrats want us to be like Canada, where any speech can be called illegal if the government doesn’t like it.
BTTT
Democrats don’t care. Here’s why:
1) The ends justify the means
2) It doesn’t matter if bad precedent has been set because
a) They will likely keep maintain power
b) Republicans are wusses when they are in power
3) They don’t think that far ahead. They only care about who makes them promises of gifts now
The left is willing to literally burn the country to the ground and rule over the ashes rather than give up an iota of power.
“The U.S. Constitution is clear: Political speech is protected by the First Amendment.”
Hey, give the Democrats a break. All they want is to abolish that antiquated Constitution and replace it with a “Living Constitution” that they can change whenever it suites their fancy.
Instead of “the criminalization of politics,” a more appropriate description might be “the politicization of the criminal justice system and the government.”
What do you think all the "COVID" stuff was, morons?
That’s the whole point. If they can do it to Trump they can do it to anyone.
And they will.

The USG is communists and with the ‘covid money’ have bought control all the way down to the small towns. It’s over folks.
The Traitorcrats openly work to destroy the Constitution and with it the United States of America.
Voting for a Traitorcrat, like Biden, is itself an act of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Brian Darling will never be seen on “The Hill” again!

Accurate and SAFE political discourse(safe and effective censorship?
More than half a billion people from around the world gather on X to talk about their interests in real-time, and that includes elections. X enables people to directly engage on important topics with elected representatives, local or national leaders and fellow citizens.
During elections, X works to get in front of a range of tactics that people use to target the process. To do this we hire the right people, update our policies and evolve our product.
Our people: We’re currently expanding our safety and elections teams to focus on combating manipulation, surfacing inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for emerging threats.
Our policies: We have rules in place to help protect the safety and authenticity of conversations on X. During elections, our Civic Integrity Policy provides an extra layer of protection that is applied for a limited period of time before and during an election. We’re updating this policy to make sure we strike the right balance between tackling the most harmful types of content—those that could intimidate or deceive people into surrendering their right to participate in a civic process—and not censoring political debate.
The policy will also be aligned with our updated enforcement philosophy, Freedom of Speech, Not Reach. We will add publicly visible labels to posts identified as potentially violating the Civic Integrity Policy, letting people know when their reach has been restricted.>/i>
Blah, blah, blah; translation: Leftists are going to censor conservatives as usual leading up to the 2024 election.
It seems DJT wants to make the GA indictment a freedom of speech issue (perfect phone call) - and I think he will be fine on that regard, but how does a grand jury see evidence and decide hey there’s something here? Said another way, I think there’s more to it than just Trump’s phone call. I could be very wrong here, but do some believe it’s just about him leaning on Raffensberger? I just can’t see that and if you know something I don’t, let me have it!
>The criminalization of politics is a dangerous game that Democrats used to decry, when they thought the shoe might end up on the other foot.
I think this is the key. They no longer really think that an opposition candidate could win. And if one somehow wins an election then he will get the Trump treatment from the agencies and congress. Heads they win, tails you lose.
