Spot on Bro – as usual. Thanks!
Hello, it’s all too true. I have found it hard to even copy your list and use it as a letter to a news outlet. I tried to copy your list and paste it into offline email but I could not even make it print, and if even if I could, my regular email is also not functioning.
So that’s about all there is to say, our once important 1st amendment is no longer honored by those who distort the truth in any way they want. Well OK, any American can choose to hate anyone they please. However saying slanderous things that endanger the well-being of others, or violently attacking those who they hate has never been legally protected by our First Amendment rights!
All of this is very sad, especially because it was sparked by the false statements and bizarre conspiracy theories that have been used to ignite imaginary fears of others. and make them believe how they spin the truth.
i.e.The New Town shooting was staged by actors and no one died–they just created that illusion by using actors, to prevent Democrats from being moved and pass anti-gun legislation?? And the list goes on and on. Conservatives were taken in by claims of Critical Race Theory, or by paranoid ideas, such as that, any gay teacher who teaches in primary school, is secretly trying to make all his students gay?? And they circulate many ideas about false and bizarre theories to explain to themselves why Transexuals are who they are. If they believe God makes no mistakes, then how could he have made mistakes when creating transexuals? Trumpers have done so by using religious hysteria and outrageous lies that sometimes inspire those who belong to fundamentalist Religions to leave their churches. Their religious dogma is the most accurate explanation of why so many people are estranged from the religions they used to revere. Many Christians do not follow their childhood religious teachings because Trumpers who belong to fundamentalist faiths are like a huge billboard that says, (only the most idiotic ideas can explain those things we do not know)!
Sadly, a truly knowledgeable computer geek like Musk is now able to censor anything that contradicts the Trumpian laws he seeks to use to spread vitriolic fears primarily uttered by the great bellicose orange one!
Here is a list of similarities between Trump and Nazis titled. “History doesn’t Repeat Itself But It Often Rhymes”–Mark Twain

I am glad you are spreading this. But I hope you will credit this blog, simply because it might help boost traffic.
Yes I gave credit to this blog and only added a short introduction from myself. I said something like, “Well so far we know that Trump has not had anyone killed…..etc.
But at the end of my short comment I said something like “But if power does corrupt, we may see Trump ordering the executions of his enemies in the future.”
In my first comments, I made many mistakes, i.e. I wrote that anyone has the right to hate anyone they want to, however, saying things that endanger the well-being of others or that cause them physical harm (has always been permitted.) Obviously, those kinds of offenses have never been permitted under the 1st amendment, so I corrected that mistake in my second comment, and I am hoping you will erase the first comment which has too many errors. Thank You.
In my defense, I simply couldn’t post an (already corrected) first draft, because both my offline email and my regular email are hopelessly changed and I can’t figure out how to use them.
It’s been taken care of.
Thanks.
The conspiracy theory was spread in several ways but has been thoroughly debunked now.
One story talks about Republican operatives going to see Obama’s grandmother in Kenya and asking her. “Were you here when Obama was born?” She answered yes because she was living in Kenya (during the same time) That Obama was born in Hawaii! But since Republicans were hoping they would find some juicy proof, the people who asked Obama’s grandmother that question took the answer as it as an affirmation that, both Obama’s grandmother and himself were in Kenya (while he (Obama) was being born there). However, when the interpreter realized his mistake (due to how ambiguous both the question and it answer were), he immediately tried to correct the interviewers misinterpretation about Obama’s birthplace being in Kenya–(because his grandmother merely said that she (lived in Kenya during the time of Obama’s birth in Hawaii). But his grandmother’s words were too tempting for Republicans (NOT) to lie about. So for many years the Birther conspiracy itself, was misinterpreted by Obama’s enemies, as being absolutely true. And, as with many conspiracy claims, it did not even mater if the long-term copy of his birth record from Hawaii’s information was revealed or not.
