Rights are like muscles. Flex 'em or lose 'em.

I knew this back in the 80s, look at Germany for example. You will go to prison just for voicing an opinion, freedom of expression is just a dream there. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-93-year-old-holocaust-denier-sent-back-to-jail/a-61336650

It's by design.
I see tribalization like never before where some factions use their numbers to demand that rival groups be denied human rights- on the basis of what they say being designated as hate speech, misinformation, or domestic terrorism.
Think long and hard about that- especially when a leftist "leader" claims to be concerned about protecting "our democracy".
What they really mean is THEIR "democracy". Anyone not properly brainwashed is not allowed to participate.

Leftists shouldn't be allowed to participate nor have freedom of speech. Democracy can only survive if we censor them and jail our opposition.

Yeah.... let's censor and imprison them before they censor and imprison us... both sides deftly ignoring the fact that the factions themselves amount to pawns in a very devious game.

Your comment is why the right loses. We have to be "worse" than them. Make them beg for freedom.
