    In the USA, Donald Trump knows how to reply to “hate speech”, but he never censors freedom of expression, even if he doesn’t agree with somebody’s statement.

    But in Europe, if anything doesn’t fall in with their official line, they put it under the category of “hate speech” and “disinformation”, and send it into oblivion.

      One of the first things Trump did as president this year was take away the White House press passes from journalists he disagreed with…

      He has been denying free speech (anything against him) since day 1. The only time he likes free speech is when it degrades other people and allows him to push lies/misinformation to the public.

          If I get blocked, oh well 🤷. Who knows what could be the thing that opens up someone’s eyes?

          I have a lot of family members that I was pretty close to before they started being MAGA fans in the past year or 2. Maybe it’s the optimist in me but I’d like to hope that people can realize how much widespread hate and damage Trump (and conservative media in general) is causing to the US.
