I read articles like this with a sense of ambivalence because they are presented in the contest of two divergent political structures — a censorship regime vs. “democracy” — where neither of them has any place in our constitutional republic.

In fact, I’m not sure which of these the founders of this nation would find worse: (1) government-managed censorship, or (2) this silly, infantile idea that every mouth-breathing moron who reaches the age of 18 should have any say in the country’s governance.

Needed repeating.

This was precisely what the original Patriots rebelled against. Of course, they didn't have anything positive to say about "democracy", either.
