This deserves far, FAR more attention than it’s getting.

I don’t think folks realize just how much this will facilitate a brutal dystopian regime in the USA, …within the year.

If it passes, mark my words.

Do people understand that he’s suppressing free speech and the press, ironically,, in the name of Truth and freedom. My God. The Fascist States of America are real.

I think there's a rule for Trump that he must make a meaningful push further toward full fascism each day.

Musk demands that Trump send him an email at the end of every week listing 5 fascisms he did that week or Trump loses his job.

News media already avoids using accurate language so they don't get sued for libel from this lunatic.

This is just one more nail in the first amendments coffin.

Lmfao "can't find ma tiny dick" act. Imagine being wrong and hated so much but thinking the viable solution is to silence people. Only prescription for that type of idiocy is ~~lead~~love

Literally any time anyone claims to be doing something to help exploited women or children, look very carefully for a sinister ulterior motive. Any topic that gets people emotional tends to be exploited.

Bill of ~~Rights~~ things Trump doesn't think you should have.
