These people do no believe in equal treatment under law.

They demand absolute freedom of speech – but only for themselves. They demand law and order, but only for others. And they don’t see any contradiction in their desires.

And now Kimmel gets pulled cuz Trump threatens them with the FCC. Go on the con sub and the only dissent you’ll see for such things is „cuz it might happen to us if the left gets power again“. It is only *potentially* bad cuz there might be an eye for an eye. Not because on its face it is fascist and authoritarian. This country is falling fast

Biden and Harris were right, our democracy was at stake.

Noting that at the time I am typing this, three separate posts about ABC being intimidated into yanking the Kimmel show have been deleted by the mods of this sub, on the claim that it is „not political“.

„Not political“ my shiny metal ass…

The foundation of our nation is completely crumbled from a failed reality star agent of Russia.
They are successfully destroying every fundamental right and freedom that made this country the wonderful place that it once was. Even Ronald Reagan is likely turning in his grave from what this conman has done to that shining beacon on the hill he once proclaimed the USA to be.
Democracy is dead. We are no longer free.

Hey MAGA: Charlie Kirk was an asshole and Trump rapes kids.

It was the plan all along, but now they have „cover“ to do so because if Kirk.

Nexstar owns only 23 ABC affiliates. We should ask Vanguard to divest from Nexstar(( 😃)) wishful thinking.

Honestly they’re probably ecstatic about the fact that the dude died because it’s an excuse to further their ghoulish agenda even if it meant one of their own died in the process.

The FCC just threatened to pull the network’s license over his inoffensive and factually correct quote.
I’d like the party of free speech to explain this one.

Invoking the name of Charlie Kirk to do this doesn’t sit right with me. He would despise them for doing this. And he would despise them especially for using his name to do this.

“Sweeping speech crackdown” is a helluva euphemism for pissing on the 1st amendment.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. Its suppression is a direct infringement on individual liberty. Welcome to The USA’s Nazification.

Its not ’speech crackdown‘, its a blatant violation of the US Constitution.

Crazy how the free speech absolutionists are the ones championing and rooting for this. It’s almost like those fuckers never actually gave a fuck about the 1A.

Also Rs: you better watch what you say about CK or you’ll get fired, lose your passport, lose all your savings, get expelled from college, be forced to do the GOT shame walk….

The irony of all of this. Just think about it.
Anyone celebrating this free speech crackdown. Pathetic.
Not everyone is yelling fire in a crowded movie theater, or celebrating death/hurting people, like they want you to believe.
Wake up.

Why are the mods removing all the posts about Kimmel being axed?
Anything to keep us distracted from the Epstein Files.
It’s working against the mods of /r/Politics!
Numbers 3, 6, and 12 of the [14 characteristics of fascism](https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html)
