Is it ok to tell the truth now?

Intimidating, attacking, deplatforming and punishing people for voicing their opinion (or just saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, for that matter) was where the Left went off the rails and weaponized Political Correctness while ushering in Trumpism.

So how did that work out?

Americans need to be able to say what they're thinking without fear of reprisal. If they can't, their resentments will only build. As we can see right now. And if their opinions identify them as ignorant, paranoid bigots, that's fine too. We need to know that they still exist, as a reminder that there is still work to do.
 
You have to know the truth before you speak it for us, and if you are referring to our elected officials, I believe they have incentives that you wouldn't believe that are not controlled by them.
 
I realize many on here engaged in self-censorship out of fear of the woke fbi etc.

Hopefully now with a new Trump Administration it will be safer to tell the truth.
Well, I belong to another discussion forum where you can get banned just for saying "I like Putin". In fact, it happened to me twice.

No good has ever come from telling the truth .
Or ever will .
The secret is to lie with such care and diligence that you will never be caught out .

I can truthfully tell you that I am a hybrid and now you will never be quite sure whether that is true or not .
 
The restriction of free speech on college campuses was undoubtedly a mistake. OTOH, trying to keep lies from being spread on social media platforms having negative public health consequences was defensible, IMO.
Personally, I also don't have a problem with overt lies affecting the body politic from being blocked on social media platforms by the owners of those platforms.
 
Trump ran on trying to answer questions most of us have asked over the many decades. Getting some answers will be a victory for us.
 
On a related note, I read an essay yesterday speculating about what is the next step for the White House Press Secretary.

Opinion is divided on whether she has permanently lost credibility for her overwhelming blatant lies over the past few years, as well as her refusal to answer questions that she must have known would be asked.

As an attorney, I can tell you that it is not necessary to lie in these situations. One can fall back on obvious truths (maybe unrelated), or nuanced statements, but she was not up to the task.

She is only a stand-in who ticks the boxes:
1). Black.
2). Woman.
3). Lesbian
.
She was never meant to be taken seriously and no one with any sense did. The MSM knows what her role is so they just write down what she says and prints it. Job done. Collect your paycheck.

Stalin felt he had a lot of work to do and he did it.

The essential point is............who are you working for?

The New

Orleans radicalized fool felt he had work to do....obviously he worked for Satan.

If there is anythng the usual suspects on here should have learned in the years they have been posting on here is that the deeper the faith of a muslim....the greater the chance of them becoming radicalized

The more astute understand what we are confronted with is a struggle between the forces of Satan and the Lord's people.

Our government has made it possible for many,many muslims to come here.....mostly unvetted.

We have paid the price and will continue to pay the price for such stupidity at the highest levels.

The Satanic verses are a controversial episode in the life of the Prophet Muhammad that involves words that were allegedly suggested by Satan and mistaken for divine revelation. These verses praised pagan deities, which goes against the Islamic belief that Allah is one and absolute.

Today, Muslims of all sects deny that the Satanic verses incident took place. However, early Muslims (632–800 CE) believed that the Satanic verses were an established fact in the Prophet's history. The interpretation of the Satanic verses incident is a significant question in Islam that helps define the limits of what Muslims can say and do.


Here are some other aspects of Islam related to Satan and evil:
  • Shayatin
    These evil spirits are imagined to be ugly and grotesque creatures created from "Hellfire". They are invisible to humans, but they incite humans and jinn to sin by whispering in their hearts.

  • Iblis
    Iblis is mentioned by name 11 times in the Quran, and is sometimes referred to as Shaytan. However, the terms are not interchangeable. Within Muslim thought, Iblis is generally not considered to be the originator of evil.

  • Fitrah
    This is the inner sense of right and wrong that Muslims believe all humans are born with.

  • Free will
    Muslims believe they have free will, and are responsible for everything they do. They must choose between right, using the guidance of Allah, and wrong, following the temptations of Shaytan.

With a new Trump Administration, truth is a thing of the past. Trump lied about everything to get elected, and is already lying that the New Orleans terrorist attack was the result of "open border" policies. The perp was an American, born in the USA - and a member of the US military.

The Los Vegas truck bomber was a card carrying member of the Trump Cult, and a Green Beret. Trump's Cult members are turning on him now that they realize they've been conned.

Trump is even claiming credit for the Biden Economy - the strongest in the first world, is his doing, just like he claimed the Obama Economy was his success. Believing his lies last time cost over 1.2 Americans their lives. At least the world knows what an ass clown he truly is. We're ready for him.

NOTHING is "safe" with Trump in office. Given his threats against those who criticize him, Free Speech is a thing of the past.

Only problem is, all those "lies" on social platforms about the Fauci Flu turned out to be true.
