JUST SHUT UP AND ACCEPT YOUR SHACKLES!
"Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing Freedom of Speech... Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech."
—Cato
Last year, a big city restaurant was terrorized by leftist thugs who took exception to the name of an item on the menu. An Old-Time Photo Shop in in a small midwestern town was forced to remove some of its costumes for photo settings because they didn’t meet BLM approval. The Dean of the Nursing School at the University of Massachusetts, was fired specifically for writing these three specific words in an email: "all lives matter.” People are daily losing positions and jobs, etc. for saying anything that might be deemed to differ with the leftist political "line."
The references above constitute only minuscule examples of what has happened and continues to happen at an escalating pace all over our country as Americans are being silenced according to the whims and the political ideology and agenda of the left. And, these people got off easy. At least they weren’t murdered.
A 24 year old woman was shot and killed last July 5th in broad daylight in front of her three year old son whom she had taken to an Indianapolis park. Why? Simply for saying these three words: “All lives matter.” She is just one example among many of Americans of every age, color and gender who have been, and are now being, openly beaten, otherwise terrorized, and sometimes killed by cold-blooded leftist thugs for simply exercising their right to freedom of speech. However, hardly any of this qualifies with mainstream media as a story, much less a "tragedy," worth mentioning.
Americans now face the very real prospect of being imprisoned, loss of livelihood, and even the loss of their lives if they dare exercise their tight to the freedom of speech. Our institutions, government, educational, media, etc. are now controlled by leftists, liberals, Marxists and Democrats; people as intolerant of freedom of speech as any Bolshevik, Nazi or Taliban chief who ever lived. This explains to a great degree the rabid hatred of Donald Trump (they couldn't silence him); and the criminal lengths to which they went to silence him as President. It also explains the quivering, sheep-like compliance and betrayal of people throughout the leadership of the Republican Party.
The left must suppress free speech in order to subdue and enslave a nation. This explains the existence throughout modern history of gulags, concentration camps and killing fields. It explains the asylums to which people are incarcerated whose ideas are considered by leftist governnments to be symptoms of insanity. The fact that free speech must be suppressed in order to subdue and enslave a nation explains what is happening right now in America.
