At least before social media, we had the good sense to laugh at the loud stupid guy in the bar. Now he gets book deals.
guess that is why the red voters were shocked that biden won. He never had a rally - no one was yelling and screaming for him - isn't that the way it works?

White people have historically been the majority in the US, and we still are, but that demographic is shifting steadily away, and we'll soon be in the minority.

White males held all the power, for a very long time, and with that demographic shifting and POC are now in positions of power, and white women, it's a process. When one demographic holds all the power and is in the majority, that just becomes the norm, and it's hard to accept change when the power and wealth become more evenly distributed.

They were FORCED by the public outrage to denounce the insurrectionists.

Trump certainly didn't do it, until his daughter convinced him he absolutely had to distance himself, and not praise and side with them.

I agree Josh but it doesn't fit the current leftist narrative and agenda... If they control all the branches of the government, media, corporations, education institutions, and tech infrastructure what tool will you suggest to be used

not after all of last year.

As a hard core Libertarian who has watched a year of Democrat inspired violence by BLM and ANTIFA, etc and Trump inspired violence pushed by MAGA and PROUD BOYS, etc. Neither party has any credibility on this.

Jack Dorsey's apology did not go far enough. He will just do it again during the next election. Hopefully, by then, Twitter will be a left wing echo chamber, and there will be competing right wing platforms.

As we have seen with TV news, it is a lot harder to cancel the other side when they have their own megaphone.

Secondly, a farce impeachment which they know can't succeed is designed to keep Trump from running again. And the sheep buy it all...sadly. Have on idea what censoring means in this country.
Wow!! You must be wicked smart!!! So smart that you STILL think Trump won the election! So smart you don't know the different between 74 million and 81 million!! You go girl

They banned posting the NU Post article on Hunter Biden, it’s not as if the story didn’t appear elsewhere. Hawley has gotten his story out there it’s hyperbole to say he’s muzzled.
