A poster yesterday asked which freedoms the democrats want to take away. The list is long.

An important example is their suppression of your right to speak. See Joe Biden's creation of a "Disinformation Governance Board" -- a/k/a a Ministry of Truth -- to be headed by Nina Jankcowicz to police speech. See democrats' censoring online discussion and pressuring of social media providers. See the democrats' affinity for what's going on in the U.K., where they jail people for saying words. See the democrats' teaching college students that "speech is violence," thus warranting violence in return. See current college students heckling and walking out on speakers with whom they disagree. See leftists' threatening -- and killing and applauding the killing of -- speakers on college campuses. See the adoption of phrases such as "hate speech", which, if that slippery slope definition is found to apply, warrants criminal sanctions.

The right to speak -- even, indeed, especially -- regarding unpopular and uncomfortable topics is the hallmark of a free society. The democrats are all-in against that right. That is the hallmark of tyranny.

Much harder to effectively control The Narrative with that pesky free-speech.

Didn’t Trump try to ban news networks critical to him from the press pool? That doesn’t sound very pro 1A to me.

The press pool isn’t 1A you moron. Being in the pool isn’t a right

Remember when Biden tried to roll out the truth czar?

She looks like she serves cafeteria food in middle school.

You didn't even mention the censorship requests of social media by the Biden Admin of covid pandemic speech.

And Hillary and Obama actually prosecuting a YouTuber for Benghazi when he had nothing to do with it.

... or the criminal prosecution of a young man who posted a meme related to an election.

In the United States of America.
