Trump's attacks on Free Speech and MAGA Hypocrisy.

 

Trump is a liar (by saying that the 2020 election was stolen, saying that cities like Baltimore are trash, and claiming that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio are collectively eating dogs) and a hypocrite. The fascist said that months ago, that he will promote free speech. Yet, he allowed the FCC to fire Jimmy Kimmel because he made a comment about how the Trump administration wanted to characterize the murderer of Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. Kimmel's remarks were not inflammatory nor massively terrible. We know now that the shooter is not MAGA, but many people thought that. Also, we know that many MAGA followers are terrorists involved in the January 6th terrorist insurrection, we know how many MAGA followers harass progressive voices, and we know how Trump recently said that he wants the FCC to revoke TV licenses over any negative coverage of him. This is even beyond Kimmel. This is about Trump overtly promoting attacks on the First Amendment or free speech. That is the definition of fascism. The agenda of dictatorship and fascism has been promoted by the oligarchy for decades and centuries. My people's oppression is a living example of that agenda. We have an epidemic of homelessness, poverty, and economic dislocation in America. Trump and his acolytes want to suppress any political opposition. Trump hypocritically claims to oppose cancel culture, but wants institutions to suppress dissent against him. 

We have rising unemployment, the jobless rate for recent college graduates is as high as 6.5 percent, and black workers are jobless at 7.5 percent. Back in the day, you could pay for a house in about $1,000 - $2,000 a month in a mortgage. That is minuscule compared to the costs of mortgages on homes today. Recently, the black woman Karen Attiah from the Washington Post was unjustly fired for her social media posts after Kirk's killing. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened ABC to fire Kimmel or face the "hard way." This is even worse than Bush Jr. and Reagan combined. Senate and House Democrats have announced legislation to protect free speech. The bill is that No Political Enemies Act to protect dissent. While this is going on, we have genocide in Gaza, in Sudan, in the Congo, and in other places of the world. Israel tanks, bulldozers, and ground troops have entered Gaza City. Bernie Sanders is the first U.S. Senator to say that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The Trump administration has hypocritically attacked progressives using their First Amendment rights, but Trump has targeted voices that disagree with their reprehensible policies found in universities, protesters, and other locations. This is against the freedom of speech. Vice President J.D. Vance celebrated the views of the racist and xenophobe Charlie Kirk as a joyful warrior for our country. Kirk promoted the Great Replacement theory racist myth and questioned the intellect of very intelligent, brilliant black women in misogynoir. Kirk made the racist remark that London was conquered by immigration by more Muslims than native born whites. First, a large percentage of whites in the UK didn't originate from the UK. Many of them came from Germany being descendants of the Angles, Jutes, Saxons, etc. Second, we now have DNA evidence of people of sub-Saharan African descent living in the UK since the days of the Roman Empire. Kirk promoted fascist politics and support Christian nationalism which is a theocratic perversion of authentic Christianity (which is about equality, love of your neighbor, and not scapegoting people for all evils in the world). Vance wanted to go after NGOs that in his mind facilitates and engages in "violence." Stephen Miller and Vance omits that the vast majority of domestic terrorism in the 21st century has been done by far right extremist terrorists. Now, you have many Americans fired for not venerating Charlie Kirk as divine or near infallible. The truth is that we should not celebrate his death (murder is wrong as Charlie Kirk should never have been murdered), but he was a demonic force that promoted racism, sexism, xenophobia, and other evils under the guise of "spirituality." These fascists claim to love free speech are targeting people who don't support Kirk's views.
