The Left has been using the method of -- "Shut up", he explained -- for quite a while. At first it was a mild joke because the Left wasn't good at debating. But now we see that it's a powerful strategy of just not letting the other side get heard.

Yes and people must remember that this “shutting up” method is effective. We did not get the word out before this last election. People believed the media, did not learn about the spying on the Trump campaign and FISA abuses and the hate-Trump dogma caused them to have doubts. This was done very effectively before the 2012 election when the IRS “shut up” many conservative political groups. The republican legislators were complicit in that also. How do we get our elected representatives to stop the censorship?
By silenced what we really mean is dead. Don’t get to thinking it’s anything other than what it is.
as you say...

That has been the power of the legacy media my entire adult life. The power NOT to publicize facts inconvenient for the globalist left/deep state bureaucracy. The internet bollixed that strategy up for a while. But FB, Google and Amazon are being steadily brought back into line.
“By silenced what we really mean is dead. Don’t get to thinking it’s anything other than what it is.”
That’s a fact. And that is why they are so feverish about disarming the American people. As someone once said, “Civil wars happen when the victimized are armed; genocide happens when they are not.”
“At first it was a mild joke because the Left wasn’t good at debating. But now we see that it’s a powerful strategy of just not letting the other side get heard.”
That’s straight out of Alinsky: Do not let your opponents express their opinions; shout them down if necessary or cut them off.
Yesterday I was accused by a liberal friend of mine for causing global warming. I asked why she would accuse me of such an offense. Her reply? I’m a Republican.
They are unhinged.
They want us to obey, keep quiet and do as they say (like on their plantations) because they know what's best for everyone.
Liberals are not going to disarm the Deplorables and the Normals. They don’t possess the will nor resources nor manpower. Obama tried to disarm us for eight years and failed. Dianne Feinstein has yet to confiscate a single gun. NY, NJ, CT, CA, & MA have mandatory registration of “assault weapons” but so far noncompliance is 90%.
Fascistic Red Flag laws are disarming citizens one at a time but that will take two hundred years to achieve.
The fanatical leftwing House will go wild introducing confiscation bills but those are DOA in the Senate.
The comments sections following any article advocating confiscation, if published in a leftwing journal reflect anger, frustration, and hatred, but no plan of action other than “we must elect a progressive majority that will disarm the populace!”
Just over two years ago I was scared. Then I did some research and said sorry, Hillabitch, it ain’t gonna happen.
Ready?
They kill millions and then we have Nuremberg trials. I say we preempt them next time, now. I am 60 and can only sit on the porch and wait.
Right you are, which is why the left has been behind the so-called "fairness laws" and promoting the creation of monopolies so few control access for the many.
In the 90's, there was a push to charge for/tax emails- I don't think it was to prop up the USPS.
No lesftist scheme survives the reasonable assessment of the majority of law abiding taxpayers - they hang themselves with the words that follow; "give free x to y".
Aside from their use of their street soldiers, we are allowing them to inflict the pain on us, we signed into their media platforms. If they ban me to ban my message, I'll put it on paper with high doses of ridicule and circulate.
Some "friend".
But because you are her "friend", tell her she needs to seek professional help, quickly.
The children are acting up again, and want their juvenile delinquent friends to be allowed in the house. It’s time for some tough love.
