A dissent from a well-respected contributor here spawned this post. The mainstream media is still pushing the Big Lie (discussed in this post)that Donald Trump promised to unleash a “bloodbath” if he lost the upcoming election (MSNBC mentioned it several times this morning). As I was pondering the argument (prompted by this post) that Elon Musk does not deserve the RBG Leadership Award for rescuing Twitter, now “X” from the Left-wing biased and censorious cabal that had captured it, I encountered the sequence below on the platform. Musk’s version of Twitter does not ban the progressives from spreading their “misinformation,” and he allows the crucial opportunity for countering the news media that is on display. This is undeniably a good thing. And I believe the the Notorious R.B.G. would agree.
“Unfortunately for them, we have Twitter.” On such foundations is democracy upheld.
Ethics Alarms 
For those of us who lean libertarian, the primary focus of the Federal government should be national defense, border protection, and a very light hand in stimulating the economy and taxing its citizens to fund these interests. It has no business dabbling in social issues. Though he notoriously always steps on his own d@#&, Donald Trump was brilliant as the Leader of the Free World, and I fervently hope he is again elected. I really do fear for our freedoms, otherwise.
Mainstream Media notwithstanding, he is a protector of individual rights and freedoms, not the tyrant they are predicting.
Thank God for Elon Musk.
I read online that one right-leaning news source has stitched together about twenty video clips of the Democrats and their media lapdogs using the term “bloodbath” quite cavalierly in recent reports about a variety of topics. But let Trump utter the term in a legitimate context and it’s a “Threat to Democracy!” It further illustrates just how desperate they are.
I’ve seen it. They’ve also tracked down an old Biden use of “blood bath.”
And I believe Rachel Maddow used the term in reference to the RNC.
I’ve seen it, too, and it is apt. But the Left’s narrative is that, when Donald Trump does it, he’s serious. Or as Musk put it, “Metaphors for me, but not for thee.”
Some say the pen is mightier than the sword. Disarming your foe through language restrictions while you are allowed to use them is like tyrants stripping firearms from citizens before they enslave them.
Well said. Even seemingly innocuous words like “preferred pronouns” are not-so-subtle attacks on free speech.
Again, I will recommend to anyone interested: please read the first book of Saul Friedlander’s two-part “Nazi Germany and the Jews”. Subtitled “The Years of Persecution”, it covers 1933-1939, and the parallels between the Nazi party then and left-wing Democrats now are remarkable…they are almost indistinguishable. About the only thing that’s missing today is the swastika on the arm. Heck, just read the first 135 pages or so.
