Does anyone remember when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that Trump voters ought to be blacklisted? Or DNC press secretary Hari Sevugan, starting the “Trump Accountability Project?” Ask any voter who swung their political compass in that direction, they remember.
You probably know by now of the censorship purge by social media giants and big tech to pull the plug on conservative outlets too. From Twitter banning Trump to Amazon cutting Parler from its server, giving what appears to be ( in the foreseeable future) the death punch. I think of the Prequels from the Star-Wars saga, Revenge of the Sith. Palpatine, waited for the right moment to execute the order that would make the clones turn on the Jedi. That moment was after Windu tried to end his life and Anakin became his apprentice. The disruption of certifying the election was the establishment’s clause.
Since Trump entered the political arena in 2015, the establishment loathed him. The establishment has despised his supporters during this tenure. An article published by the Washington Post called his voters as “Morally Violent” despite admitting it was physically peaceful during one of the protests on his behalf after the election. They didn’t have any power to step on them as the messenger of the movement provided a big security blanket. Any opinion labeled as hateful, bigoted, or whatever other adjective there was describe an ideological difference, Trump was gonna use his platform to protect everyone’s right to question those in power. That he did in his one term as president. Freedom of speech was becoming more popular than a political correct culture (PC)-why else would he have gained an extra 10 million votes in the popular count?
Now the man whom many felt fought for the little guy, is about to be out of office in the coming days. Days before the people who’ve gone after anyone who didn’t submit to popular opinion, are back in charge. With what has transpired in the last week or so, our institutions could very well be at risk. Freedom to question an ideology could be tossed completely to the wayside if we don’t pay attention. I am not just speaking on the behalf of the right, but the left as well. Liberalism at its truest form, wants people to have the ability to have dialogue. The “woke” establishment does not represent the millions of Biden voters either. Should a Biden supporter like Cindy McCain be censored because she dared to call out 45? Here’s the kicker, I voted for DJT twice! I’ve seen her endorsement clips; I won’t lie, it was hard to watch. However, I could never support a stunt like the Arizona’s GOP are trying to pull by censoring the woman! So much for respecting the widow. It’s a revenge game that only children play. The adult response is to recognize the person you disagree with has every right to disagree with you. It is not your right to silence. It is not your right dismiss their viewpoints by attacking someone’s character, intelligence, or sanity. Realize we are human beings-that means no matter how righteous we may think our perspectives are, it IS flawed. Only God himself is infallible in his thoughts. Unity, is not submitting to uniformity. Revenge got us into this mess, only grace and forgiveness will heal.
“Only grace and forgiveness will heal!” A perfect and forever true statement!!! 🥰
