Almost 4 years into a Republican president, Republicans still attempt to play the victim card.
The point is the implication that there’s a secret underground silent majority , ready to leap into action on election day, but will be entirely immeasurable until then.

Is on the rise in this country…and it’s coming from not liberals but libs/democrats.
The Left’s control of almost all the major outlets for opinion in this country — major newspapers and magazines, television, Hollywood, social media, and university faculties among others — is a familiar phenomenon. But in the past, popular support for the constitutional guarantee of free expression under the First Amendment—even among Liberals-- was always a protection for the dissemination of conservative and other alternative ideas.
Now, however, a new group of progressives is moving into positions of power in all these news and cultural outlets, and they do not appear to acknowledge the rights of conservatives — or even Liberals – to hold and express views that dissent from the progressive catechism. Instead, they are turning the media and other cultural institutions they control away from approval of free expression and focusing them in an unprecedented and dangerous new direction.
Talk about being wahy ahead of the curve. I’m glad that others are starting to catch on…but again this is something I knew was coming for last 2 maybe 3 decades when I’ve seen the early signs f this shift.
The impulse of authoritarians is a direct threat to freedoms and yes our civil liberties, from freedom of expression to our own personal lifestyle choices. It is that reason why they want total control over our healthcare. Once that’s in hands of left-wing authoritarians then they can control what we can or cannot eat.
I’m glad that media world and talking heads catching up but still lagging behind the times.
Yes this is opinion piece.
Totalitarianism is growing among us | Washington Examiner
That’s a hyperbolic piece of nonsense. Totalitarianism is not not when a private company under either public pressure or their own sense of morality decides to not platform a person, group, or topic.

Libs control the majority of communicating pathways and as I’ve stated, have evolved into sheople troughs, feeding their sheople who then regurgibleet the narrative being fed. We’ve seen it for a number of years now. How long did the sheople regurgibleet “Russian collusion”? Everyday it’s a new narrative being fed, libs light their hair on fire and start a daily thread to regurgibleet about it. This is happening over and over and over and over and has become the new normal. What I truly fail to understand, is why people that come across as extremely intelligent, allow themselves to be used in this way? You would think that after so many headlines that the sheople were fed, turn out to be false, that they’d see this reoccurring pattern?
How do you know you aren’t actually regurgibleeting the conservative media narrative?
Trump hasn’t lost yet. Remain calm.
It certainly is when they’re bullied into it.
No its not. Is it totalitarianism when religious groups petition TV networks when they don’t like a show that portrays Jesus in a light they disapprove of?
Of course it is. It’s coercion.
Yea…that’s not totalitarianism, but kudos for applying the same standard to both sides of the aisle.

My day is filled. If you’ve ever noticed, most of my posting here is before the sun comes up.

This doesn’t answer the question.
Oh I know. They’re lying to pollsters, hiding in basements from Antifa…and apparently they are now donating money to Biden to keep their secret safe. (He’s raised more money than trump for 2 months straight now - average donation $34).
Does this mean you don’t read, watch, or listen to any conservative news sources?
