From Trump On Down, Democrats Are Silencing The Opposition
American Thinker ^ | 15 Sep, 2023 | Greg Salsbury

As the Democrats expand their attacks from Trump to his advisors and, now, to anyone who dares to support him or traditional values, speech dies in America.

Following his historic federal indictment, Donald Trump correctly observed, “In reality, they’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”

Indeed, as the Democrat/Federal/Media cabal proceeds with its blatant lawlessness, banana republic indictments, frog march arrests, and kangaroo show trials, its members argue that all of this is both by the book and quite necessary—prompted by things like unprecedented, dangerous, and horrendous threats from MAGA extremists, white supremacists, terrorists, anthropogenic climate change, and attacks on democracy. Daring to speak truth about the COVID virus and treatments, about Hunter or Joe Biden, about the irregularities and illegalities that occurred in the 2020 election, the invasion of illegal aliens, mis-gendering someone, constitutes speech drawing punishments ranging from suspension or censorship, to IRS and FBI visits, to fines, or to imprisonment.

We see extensive news and analysis discussing how Republican and conservative conduct around elections (past and present) constitutes election interference, racketeering, soliciting a public official to violate his oath of office, conspiracy to commit forgery and file false documents, insurrection, making false statements, hate speech, threats to public safety, and more. President Trump and those around him, of course, receive much of this attention, but they are by no means the only ones suffering from the assault. In fact, as he has noted, he is not even the primary target.

A growing number of Americans is beginning to realize that there is another purpose to and message behind Democrats’ actions that extends to everyday people who might not like or support one or more of the things that the cabal is forcing upon them—things such as discriminatory CRT and

It is starting to look like the Chinese struggle sessions.

I think the pendulum is swinging fast the other way. Idiot NM governor’s ukase was pretty quickly repudiated by everyone.

I pray you’re right. But right now. Biden controls the vote for 2024. Republicans would have to get 20 million or more votes to overcome democrat fraud. That’s why even after the Washington Post and the NY Times have publically called for his replacement—no mainstream democrat has stepped forward to run agains Biden in the democrat primaries. They can’t because they can’t win unless Biden cedes the massive federal control of the vote to them. That won’t happen if he’s forced out against his will.

Ҥ 2203. Management and custody of Presidential records
(a) Through the implementation of records management controls and other necessary actions, the President shall take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are preserved and maintained as Presidential records pursuant to the requirements of this section and other provisions of law”

https://www.archives.gov/about/laws/presidential-records.html#2203

I’ll repeat:

“the President shall take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented”

“Time after time in the Clinton years, then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was reluctant to approve military strikes against Osama bin Laden or al Qaeda, according to the 9/11 commission report.”

“That revelation comes as Berger faces the ‘Socks-Docs’ criminal investigation into whether he illegally snuck top-secret documents out of the National Archives in his socks while vetting material for the 9/11 Commission.”

I’m amazed at the ease with which they are accomplishing this. The First Amendment seems to have disappeared entirely.

I’m also impressed by their cleverness in doing this in courts that make it almost impossible (or at any rate too slow for real relief) to get to the Supreme Court to mount a challenge to this.

Under the radar is the assault on doctors who oppose Covid protocols and lawyers who represented Trump. In each case the left is going after their licenses. Diabolical.

I had a Trump flag on my house in 2020. It was torn down. I will not put another sign or flag on my house, because I don’t know what the leftist might do.

Sadly, it is not fear of the leftists that drives that decision, it is the knowledge that if I were to do anything to defend my property or myself, law enforcement would not be on my side. That’s the sad reality of this county today.

The Communist left needs to live in fear of the righteous Right. They are soulless, cowards who feign for power and authority. They are still angry our forefathers fought against their heralded KING. And then we Freed THEIR slaves (white and black), then reasserted our right to be free and Glorifying our GOD granted rights. They have NEVER gotten over it, so they took over the democrat party and turned it into the DemonRat party of communists. They’ve been taking over EVERY institution of gubmint, church and every other social organization and turned it into CRAP.

I don’t understand that.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

The vast majority of our elected officials are Deep State’s.

Democrats attack Trump, his advisors, anyone who dares to support him or traditional
American values. Freedom of speech dies in America.........but only for conservatives.


Democrats did not kill the First Amendment......what they did was
grab a rock-hard monopoly on election results conversations ........ for themselves alone.

Democrat Rules For Questioning Election Results
<><>Democrats “just know” it is “obviously illegal” to question when Democrats win elections
<><>but it becomes “an urgent defense of democracy” to question when a Republican wins.
<><>for example, Ga DA Fani Willis did not yet know the outcome of the 2020 election,
<><>ergo, it was ‘legal’ to question it, because she was worried a Republican might win,
<><>but once Democrat Biden (cough) “won,” it now became “retroactively illegal” to question it,
<><>when a Repub questions Ga election results, they are naturally subject to harsh prosecutions.

Clearly, the monopoly on election results conversations is held by Democrats.

We either go scorched earth on these assholes or we just sit back and let them take over.

We won’t be getting out of this by voting.

I’m not sure what I would do in such a situation, but security cameras and a big dog might help. I’ll be DA*NED if I would let some commie democrat scumbag trespass and destroy my property!

The Tree of Liberty is MIGHTY THIRSTY!

I put up a couple of cameras after that flag incident, but I am on a small lot (.25 acres), and having a dog is a hassle I don’t want to deal with. I see plenty of my neighbors out walking their dogs (and picking up their crap) in the rain, snow, etc.
