"Americans are losing hold of a fundamental right as citizens of a free country: the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned," writes the New York Times editorial board.


The NYT is allowing this opinion to get published... what is going on.

They must be scared shitless about what happens once the right has power.

They say this in one article and call for Trump and others to be shunned for claiming the 2020 election was stolen in another.

Yeah...I'm not a fan of someone who is in the process of choking me to death stopping for a brief moment to lament choking deaths as if I'm going to congratulate them on their bravery.

Since Jan 1, the Democrats and the media have mad a very intentional and concerted effort to "move to the center" by doing a complete 180 on every single issue they've pushed for the last 6 years. Hell, the NYT just said that the Hunter Biden laptop is authentic after saying it was bogus Russian propaganda since it was discovered.

Strange, right? I have a theory that this is their attempt at reconning history here and tricking everyone into thinking these were always their positions because it would have been impossible to hide the truth forever. since they've shown they can literally rewrite their online stories (If only Winston Smith had had it that easy) they can just alter the "facts" to suit their needs. And when someone goes to look for a link to a story form them from October of 2020 there will be none that claim this was ever Russian Propaganda, etc.

Very few people pay close attention, and most rely on the ability to go back and double check things on line. and since there are virtually no hard copies of anything any more, altering things is easy.

I honestly can't figure another good reason.

They've gotten woke and gone broke, and watched the SJW Frankenstein they helped build go completely out of control. Too little too late.

They're 100% doing this to target the large demographic that reads only a headline, then parrots it to everyone on twitter. It's why Defiant L's has the easiest job on planet earth. These people are nothing more than lemmings who go along with whatever the mainstream lefty cause du jour may be. This is the shift of the overton window to make these radicals seem like everyday Americans so they can get elected and continue this madness that the majority of Americans don't want.

It's also why that account is so damned effective and was targeted.

Historical searches have become harder and harder since advertisements update the publishing date in search engines.

The left touts diversity as a strength unless it's the diversity of thought or opinion.

The suppression is coming from the left and it goes well beyond mere suppression of speech to a willingness to destroy any and all who disagree with them.
