People Who Defend Trumps Assault On Free Speech Are Mindless Sheep by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Words can not express how disgusted I am with Trump supporters who defend their president stomping out speech rights for Israel after spending years wailing about the loss of free speech in America.

President Trump has taken to social media to boast about his administrations arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil for leading Columbia University campus demonstrations against Israels genocidal atrocities in Gaza, proclaiming that "This is the first arrest of many to come."

"We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it," Trump said.

And judging from what I am seeing online, and the responses I have been getting to my criticisms of these abuses, most Trump supporters seem perfectly fine with these measures. Many are actively defending them.

Words can not express how disgusted I am with Trump supporters who defend their president stomping out speech rights for Israel after spending years wailing about the loss of free speech in America. It is beyond mere political differences. I do not respect them as people.

Of all the pathetic, groveling, bootlicking positions anyone could possibly espouse, it is hard to imagine one more egregious than twisting yourself into cognitive knots trying to find ways to excuse a president crushing free speech in your country to advance the interests of a foreign state after spending years yelling "America First" and whining about freedom of speech, just because that President happens to be a Republican.

If you are doing this, you are just admitting that you do not stand for anything, and you are just drifting along with the herd and supporting whatever the man in charge tells you to support.

You are unthinking human livestock. A mindless, useless, pointless NPC. You have wasted all of your time on this planet, because you did not use that time to mature into a sovereign adult with basic intellectual agency and integrity.

Republicans have this adorable story about themselves where they believe they have changed since the George W Bush administration, but that is not what I am seeing on social media today.

I am seeing the same shitbrained, power-worshipping sheep who cheered on every authoritarian abuse rolled out by the Bush administration. That is all this so-called "populist" movement calling itself "MAGA" turned out to be: all the same authoritarian bootlicking, but with more presents for Israel.
"please see here:"

I saw a tweet from Michael Tracey the other day, "GOP free speech: You can say "retarded" again, but you can not protest Israel."

That is the long and short of it, right there.

When Trump supporters spent all those years yelling about the First Amendment, it turns out they were not talking about the need to stop the powerful from silencing inconvenient political speech - they just wanted to be allowed to say "retard" and "tranny" on social media.

As long as they get those completely irrelevant concessions from the powerful, they will happily let their government set all kinds of speech-suppressing legal precedents, because they do not actually have any values or positions which pose any kind of challenge to the powerful. They are George W Bush Republicans LARPing as populist revolutionaries.

Someone who actually supports free speech says "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Trump supporters say "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my governments right to silence you as long as a Republican is in office."

Worthless, spineless cucks! What an undignified way to live!
