Well…you know, it makes me gag to hear the repubs talk about “freedom” these days when the freedom they speak of is only for white repubs…and it is the freedom to be an asshole and the freedom to not be called out for it or they howl “cancel culture” when they do get called on it….and the latest is a Uof Va student (and MAGA asshole) who whines and complains in the NYT that she is being silenced (damn, I’d love to be silenced like that and given the Op-Ed page to cry about it) and no one will “debate” her since she has right wing views….no, no one will debate you because you regurgitate right wing talking points and you think that everything has to be a “debate” as you try to jam your right wing hooey down everyone’s throat. This woman is one of the righties who think that everyone should like her since she is so brilliant even while spewing the same old crap that would have gotten her ostracized in polite society a generation ago…and when they talk about freedom, again, they are talking about freedom for them only as they try to ban books,ban black history, ban transgender people, ban saying gay, and ban voting so people only get to do what they say…is that “freedom”? To them it is…and with all of this, we need to remember that at the same time that Putin is banning “subversive” books in his totalitarian Russia, the repubs are doing the same damn thing in states they control…do you need to know anything else? Didn’t think so…geez…
