Leftists Argue Government Censorship is the Highest Form of Speech

I disagree. It’s been my experience that lifelong democrats are more than OK with government AND non-government censorship, especially of their political opponents. Same way they’re OK with stripping us of all our other freedoms. Right to own guns. Right to vote. They’re OK with the news media acting as propaganda arms of the democratic party. They’re OK with censorship of conservatives on social media. They’re OK with fellow democrats in office abusing their positions to harass and persecute their political opponents. Which is why they jumped for joy each and everytime Trump got harassed. The raid on Mar a Lago. The indictments. The impeachments. The lawsuits.

One lifelong democrat told me that while he didn’t believe Biden won 2020 because of cheating, IF Biden did win thanks to election fraud, he was OK with it just as long as it got Trump out of the white house.

IF there is any such thing as lifelong democrats who are opposed to government censorship, they’re a very, very tiny minority in the democratic party.

The most difficult and unbearable, literally unbearable, part for me, of all of the insanity, is that general population accepts and agrees. It is terrifying and truly unbearable

I agree. I'm not sure what percentage of the general population 'accepts and agrees', but anything more than a few percentage points is totally unacceptable.
