Why do you think there would a formal revocation of free speech if US did slide into authoritarian, non-democratic rule? This seems counter inuitive. Why bring attention to such a topic if your goal is limiting free speech, surely you would use other more subtle methods to achieve such a goal (again this topic is well researched and you can easily find out how it works if you are actually acting in good faith). Russia (and I believe even China) formally has free speech.
Exactly u would be way morw subtle like pressuring all the social media sites where a majority of conversation takes place to remove certain information.
And what makes you think people in the US would oppose trump jailing political opponents (or let alone have the capability do anything about it)? No one is going to openly say that person X is going to jail because he opposes Trump/his backers. You would find some other reason that is easy to market to local plebs? No?
What do u think trumps felonies are? Attempts to jail a political opponent? Righfully earned for hiding the fact he paid of a hooker? Didnt Arnold Schwarzenegger do the same thing?
Am I being unreasonable in my line of thinking?
Not at all u just need to make the final connection
How can I be ignorant and a liar? Arnt they mutuality exclusively?
Also is a mod gonna delete ur comment i got one of mine deleted for somthing far less insulting kt is this just lemmy bias?
