AT: Our Mounting Orwellian Nightmare

 President Trump clearly stated his own beliefs on a thousand occasions — President Biden should do so as well, but he won't.  He uses the Orwellian tactic of disguising his beliefs in gibberish, and this is not because he's going daft, as he well may be.  He'll speak of "expanding Obamacare" rather than socialized medicine.  He'll talk of "defense partnerships" rather than abandoning control of our military.  And on the environment, it's not even possible to tell what he wants, but he wants $400 billion to do it.  Once again, "the defence of the indefensible."

The coordinated effort to impeach and convict the president is nothing less than a propaganda campaign, and the associated suppression of free speech on social media and elsewhere is the beginning of a dangerous national decline.  It's not possible to say where it will end, but we must be entirely clear about what is happening.  A progressive government will attempt to further limit free speech, assembly, religious expression, gun rights, access to employment, and other basic liberties.  Progressives have already threatened conservatives with prosecution and imprisonment for the "crime" of denying anthropogenic global warming and for questioning the result of the 2020 election.  What's next?  The persecution of every American conservative in the same way that Gen. Flynn was persecuted?

It's a fine line between federal prison here in America and Dachau in Germany, and one can transform into the other in a matter of weeks.  It did so in Germany in 1933, just five weeks after Hitler became chancellor.  Don't think it can't happen here.  It begins with "the defence of the indefensible" — and that is already well underway.
