still haven't gotten an answer to this question

for those of you who voted against trump, the people you elected are either actively censoring your access to free online info or they support it or they are not denouncing it.

is that what you wanted? are you surprised by that? is that acceptable?

PC is all about censorship. The left doesn't mind it at all.
HOWEVER, do ya'll remember when comics started complaining that PC is destroying humor? It started about 5 years ago with the big name older guys.
At the time I thought 'Someone is gonna push the envelope and fill the niche.'

I've noticed in 2020 as I examined online standup routines from Europe and the US that some young comedians are getting very anti-PC. I'm not talking about using more vulgar language. I'm talking about subjects that are taboo.

Maybe one of these days we can have a thread about your favorite anti-PC comics.

The people who voted for Biden are to stupid to realize any of this.

democrats, do you support what's happening?

antifa is bussed into the capital area with leo escort when leo was limiting trump supporters and apple had turned off directions to the capital

antifa leads the charge into the capital

trump is being blamed for inciting violence (so now trump and antifa are on the same team apparently)

trump and his supporters are being banned online

your access to information is being limited

Good comedy always has truth sprinkled in and always comes at someone's expense. You can't have good comedy in a cancel climate.

The problem is that there are limits. The stuff you can't make fun of. Those limits have become much more strict in the last 20 years.

I found one UK guy on youtube yesterday who is the funniest standup comedian I've ever heard in my life.
His name is Jimmy Carr and the audience responds with laughter followed by 'oooh'. Laughter because the joke is funny immediately followed by regret 'I should not have laughed at that.'

The VAST majority of them never even thought this far ahead.

Trump is mean and a racist. That's it. They were manipulated to vote with their emotions.

To admit that they don't think it's acceptable would be to admit they were wrong. To admit that maybe orange man isn't quite as bad as they've been told over and over and over again.

It's not going to happen. They have been brainwashed to echo the party line and that will not change.

Don't people get suspended or deleted or whatever on this forum?

What's the difference?

Here’s what I see happening but it will take some time. Progressive leftists are miserable by nature, they thrive on finding any type of fault in anything as a reason to be outraged. Of course conservatives are and have been naturally their #1 target.

If that #1 target is completely removed from social media their hunger for fake outrage will still be there festering and they will eventually turn on each other in relentless fashion like we’ve never seen to get that fix.

They can’t help themselves, it’s in their DNA

I didn’t vote for Trump.

It’s not surprising.

It’s a little disturbing.

It does not stop the President from getting his message out.

It may chill some speech.

TD is the best alternative, and Chicken finna eat.

you're such an arse all over the place but you have been actually quite reasonable on this issue. good to see it's possible.

i'm laughing at the notion that big tech censoring certain political views is unfettered capitalism. how naive can a person be to believe that.

i have been saying for some time now that conservatives need to tone down the complaining about social media and create their own platforms. however, i don't want conservatives to go play in their own sandbox. libs need to hear what the msm isn't telling them. if conservatives bolt, that will largely disappear. that's why this site is so critical. despite what phags are saying, admins are VERY lenient and allow libs to get away with egregious phaggery. too much imo but, it helps to keep people around so they can hear the truth about the election
