Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

There's probably only 3 people on this forum that are actually concerned about Google's sociopolitical programming. I think the rest will openly applaud this. You know, because orange man is so very bad.

So, uh, scientifically speaking, are there two biological sexes?

an update on the status/ sanctitiy of the vote in Oregon.
Our preferred form of "free speech"
The Republican senators—with the full support of the Oregon Republican Party—made common cause with armed domestic terror groups. (Calling them a militia is a misnomer, regardless of what they may think of themselves.) When a Republican state senator named Brian Boquist heard that Brown was sending the Oregon state police after them, he told a local television station:
"Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple."

A member of the Oregon 3 Percenters — a militia group whose members have vowed to combat what they perceive as constitutional infringement — said they would act as the senators’ de-facto bodyguards against the state police. “We have vowed to provide security, transportation and refuge for those Senators in need,” they wrote in a Facebook post. “We will stand together with unwavering resolve, doing whatever it takes to keep these Senators safe.”
In Idaho, where some of the lawmakers have supposedly fled, the state’s 3 Percenters group was similarly willing to defend the Republicans as well, posting threatening memes on its Facebook page. “This is what the start of a civil war looks like,” the group wrote in one post. “Elected officials seeking asylum in a friendly jurisdiction.” Speaking to ThinkProgress, Eric Parker, president of the group Real 3 Percenters Idaho, said the group was currently networking to figure out if Brown had asked for any “out of state resources” — such as help from the FBI or Idaho State Patrol — and were willing to assist the the Republican senators in any way necessary.
And you could find a way to wave this off as well, except for what happened on Saturday. From the Oregonian/OregonLive:

Wheres that outrage from the right about those Senators refusing to do their jobs? They are outright fighting against AMERICA. The people voted and now their Representatives are trying to work for AMERICA and Republicans are playing hide and seek. People in AMERICA are sick and dying and Republicans refuse to go to work for AMERICANS. AMERICANS fought and died for our Democracy and Republicans are ****ting on those heroes sacrifices by refusing to allow a vote by elected officials. What happened to respecting election results? Instead of taking their message to the people and arguing in the arena of ideas they have chosen to make a run for it. Possibly with the aid of groups that have openly implied violence against police officers for simply doing their job. Republicans dont believe in Democracy. They believe in Democracy unless they lose.
They are nazis and deserve to be censured.

As a side note, I’m dying at Shapiro’s response to this, suggesting that he’s stridently opposed to white supremacism. This is a dude who wrote for Breitbart (which had a “black crime” hashtag) and whose own website produced an explicitly white supremacist Columbus Day video a couple years ago. To say nothing of “the majority of Muslims are radical” and “Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage.”
Association game again. But only for the 'bad' side.

I listened to a Shapiro podcast.
That makes me a nazi too.
But wait, Google has profited off Shapiro. That makes them Nazis, too!
And wait... AOC has used Google, so she has benefited from the nazi platform!
Seriously, everyone is a nazi!!!

We must embrace censorship if we want to be inclusive
Wartime Conservatives need to takeover.
The Shapiros didn't say a word when Alex Jones got censured but now its him. The left is not taking prisoners. They will destroy anyone in their path.
Trump needs to take drastic action to stop this.
