I mean, he's kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it's 99.9% blue and you once say something like "Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad" and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.
Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he's worried.
And if this does happen, you'll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.
Remind me again who vowed to be "dictator on day one"? I think those people are probably the ones who want an oppressive regime.
Well, now I need to choose between dictatorship with a free speech and without. What are my options really.
Did you not hear trump talk about shutting down news orgs he didn't like after the debate??
