This administration has been, by far, the most censorial administration in my lifetime. They're punishing people for speech about Palestine, about Charlie Kirk, about ICE, about the President. It's been nonstop attacks on speech.

True, and it's outrageous and wrong, but the amount of censorship power through social pressure on the left is also a concern and has probably kept more mouths shut than what the current administration is doing.

Not only the censoring, but the lying. My god, the lying! Non-stop, every day, completely obvious, trivially disprovable lying. Oh, if only we had an honest MSM in this country.

You would have to squint really hard to find a past administration that was even close--even taking a maximalist reading of Wilson's WW1 censorship or FDR's WW2 censorship/Japanese interment. Trump is much worse and aspiring to be even worse.

As I think again about how the ERA was killed in no small part because we were supposed to be protected by Supreme Court precedent - but instead that got ripped away and men like this hell bound hypocrite get to pretend the only people who are people are rich white men with confederate values.
