A few years ago, you would've been banned for questioning the results of the U.S. election. And this was when "progressives" were in charge.

If anything, you're more free to "express yourself" now.

Banned from what?

Banned from nothing. This person is wrong.

You're free to express most things except the things they really don't like.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSPM-7

Quote from the NSPM-7: > There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization)

Yeah, Tom Paine used to fucking rhapsodize about border control.

They actually wrote that?

i feel the same way it was never the surveillance but the political mob from the left censoring and gatekeeping words to describe objects or a person.

now that trump is president and X is a thing, i do feel much more free to express myself without worries
