““If we jail Trump, get rid of Maga, end the electoral college, ban voter ID, censor free speech, we’ll save democracy,” says one meme in a QAnon channel on Telegram that depicts Biden in a Nazi uniform with a Hitler mustache”

Apparently they at least understand their opponent’s view .

    So when are all you “enlightened centrists” going to finally admit that radicalizing fascist rhetoric is not protected free speech? When are you going to admit that broadcasting blatant lies for political gain is in fact enemy combatant and insurgent behavior and that those rhetoric mills- created by the 1996 Telecommunications Act- must be shut down with extreme prejudice?

      They never will. It was rarely in good faith, and even then it was merely earnest stupidity.

      Probably never. Not because I necessarily disagree with you in spirit. This speech is damaging and without redeeming value. My only problem is that the process of deciding what speech is and isn’t permissible is more dangerous than this speech.

        It’s not hard to figure out. Are you representing a blatant lie as truth? Are you doing it to destabilize democracy? To the cage you go.

          And how do you feel about a Trump stacked executive deciding what is a blatant lie in 9 months time?

      When are you far left communists gonna admit that we shouldn’t be teaching children how to “make prison hooch”?

      When are you extreme anarchists going to fess up that we shouldn’t be melting the elderly?

      When are all you far leftists gonna admit to things you already probably agree with?
