I listen to those people daily and not a single one has suggested that the election did not end when the electoral college met.
Let me know when they've attacked the US Congress.You're wrong, the BLM terrorists are still organizing there.
Nice deflection leftie.Let me know when they've attacked the US Congress.
There's no such thing as suppression of First Amendment-protected speech by private companies. It's the government that can't stop you from saying whatever you want. And even then, there are limitations. Speech that incites violent insurrection is one of them.

There would be far more censorship without 230. You guys realize that, right?These companies should lose their 230 protection when they step in and become publishers.
The attack on the Capitol was not round one, only the latest. Think back to the attempt on the Michigan Governor and the bombing in Nashville. Lots of stuff on the web about other attacks to follow. Yet * DIDO says it all was a peaceful protest.The quelling of violent speech is not some sort of tyrannist act.

The current "conservative view" is that the Presidential election was fraudulent and something must be done about it before it's too late. And here we are, 9 days from the inauguration of the next President. And we've already seen what some conservatives think they needed to do about it during round 1 of their efforts.
The cartoon you responded to says "free speech", nothing about the first amendment. Try again leftie.There's no such thing as suppression of First Amendment-protected speech by private companies.

The implication of a cartoon suggesting one's free speech rights are being infringed upon has everything to do with the First Amendment.The cartoon you responded to says "free speech", nothing about the first amendment. Try again leftie.
