As usual, I'm horrified and furious to the point of explosion.

As usual, I ask, "what can I do about it? Anything? Anyone got any ideas what I can do about it? What's that? Wait 4 years and try voting again?"

Evil WILL undo itself. Corruption is never permanent. That's what I have to remind myself of when I read things like this. Very nicely put, by the way. Will be sharing!

The greeks had it right. You can elect a dictator but his term is limited to one year then he goes back to obscurity.

(Parody post) Isn't unity beautiful. Isn't it inspiring. Is there anything that can't be accomplished if we are all united under one glorious vision, one unifying voice. Plus we're really anxious right now about a lot of important things, and it's clear lasting relief will not be found until we solve these problems, and the biggest of problems can only be solved through perfect, total, unencumbered unity. Tough times call for tough measures. In fact, my anxiety seems to morph into excitement by even the thought of the quest itself and bringing rightful pain on those selfish, smug individualists living in disgustingly blissful ignorance. (I'm trying to understand these people by seeing the world from their perspective. It's a struggle. I don't fully understand them. Seems collectivists are in the midst of a nervous breakdown and are lurching out in the way that inspires them and brings relief. A theory - Despite calling it what it is, Fascism cannot be avoided because it's brought on by persistent maddening collectivist anxiety.)

Upon passage of the bill, only misinformation approved by HHS will be allowed to disseminated and circulated on social media. Carry on...

Thanks. Yes, it's always been fascism. They just use gullible people who think they support something else, as that makes it easier than having them oppose you. It's the opposite of democracy, whether 'left' or 'right' of center, whatever that means now.

I am hopeful that the Republicans and some Dems will defeat this, but it us definitely a shot across the bow.

We must start a global movement to guarantee free speech in law in all democracies.
