That is the example that illustrates what is going on today......and look at how the vast majority are cowards just as the Germans were.

Big Tech is doing the same job the CCP is doing with GF
We should be Blood Brothers....this is what hurts so bad.

you trump stooges can't even count to 20 without taking off your shoes and socks and you think you could develop an internet media platform? HILARIOUS!!! i wish you would try...that would be funny as hell!! look at who the philosophical leaders of the GOP are right now- bowtie carlson, trump, hannity, louis gohmert, rudy giuliani, devin nunes, limbaugh, alex jones, sarah palin, those two sissy boy goons who have their own show on fox- Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfield.

You don’t have a sufficient number of Twitter followers that they’d bother purging them for ‘saying whatever the F* you want’ lol.
Then you might start to care.

Ditto here.
I self censor on FB because I don’t want to stir the hornets nest. Just over the past week I’ve seen life long friends fall out over politics. The only exception is I will chip in on another persons political post occasionally.
I’m sure I’m hardly alone which is why I was convinced the silent Trump supporter was an actual thing.

Silent, but deadly.....like a fart. actually, most trump stooges are loudmouth hicks and goobers, who don't know shit and seem pretty proud of it.
the life long friends is what happened to me in 2016 for supporting Trump
I won't do the same then or now. more then ever I concentrate on not being any part of censoring/advocating such
or making a friendship hostage to personal politics

friends don't let friends vote trump.
Americans encourage voting - it's a right to choose and vote.

Part of the problem is what’s being debated.
It wasn’t long ago that political debates were policy debates: debating tax rates and etc. The abortion debate was the first one that came along that exposed the cultural divide and it’s only gotten worse. Race issues were back burner for the longest time until Obama came along. Then, for whatever reasons, race became an obsession with the left.
That caused a reaction from the right as white people were being portrayed as whiting or unwitting oppressors. Predictably, many of them got tired of hearing about it. Anyone who wants to know why so many white Obama voters went for Trump need look no farther.
White Christian males in particular, became the cultural boogie man since they ‘oppressed’ every group from women, gays on down the line.
The left has poisoned the well.
When a private company creates the government, it is the government. Msm, big tech, and social media have created and installed the government, and they operate as a single hybrid unit. The private sector part of the this hybrid government is the workaround that let's the government censor free speech.

yep, it is hard to be a white christian male in our society!!! good god, snowflake!! you think equality and a fight against racism did not exist here until Obama came along? are you nuts? actually, Obama being elected was a great and positive example OF HOW FAR THIS COUNTRY HAS COME....and you stupidly try to blame Obama being elected to whatever petty ass bullshit you claim you are suffering as a white male Christian?
it is the right that decided to make abortion a political issue, dufus. when roe v wade was first decided, there was very little blowback from organized religion.
Conventional wisdom holds that the rise of the religious right as a political force to be reckoned with during the 1970s and 1980s was driven by conservative Christians’ intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. But Dartmouth College’s Randall Balmer writes that “the abortion myth quickly collapses under historical scrutiny.” He notes that “it wasn’t until 1979 — a full six years after Roe — that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but …. because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools.”
When Roe was first decided, most of the Southern evangelicals who today make up the backbone of the anti-abortion movement believed that abortion was a deeply personal issue in which government shouldn’t play a role. Some were hesitant to take a position on abortion because they saw it as a “Catholic issue,” and worried about the influence of Catholic teachings on American religious observance.
Shortly after the decision was handed down, The Baptist Press, a wire service run by the Southern Baptist Convention — the biggest Evangelical organization in the US — ran an op-ed praising the ruling. “Religious liberty, human equality and justice are advanced by the Supreme Court abortion decision,” read the January 31, 1973, piece by W. Barry Garrett, The Baptist Press’s Washington bureau chief.
Religious bodies and religious persons can continue to teach their own particular views to their constituents with all the vigor they desire. People whose conscience forbids abortion are not compelled by law to have abortions. They are free to practice their religion according to the tenets of their personal or corporate faith.
The reverse is also now true since the Supreme Court decision. Those whose conscience or religious convictions are not violated by abortion may not now be forbidden by a religious law to obtain an abortion if they so choose.
Garrett reassured his readers that the decision had been made not by “a Warren type or ‘liberal’ Supreme Court,” but “a ‘strict constructionist’ court, most of whose members have been appointed by President Nixon.”
