    The sueing people for reporting the truth, the threatening networks for people saying things they don’t like, various attacks on schools (Harvard in particular) to silence protests (and force indoctrination), attacking law firms for working for people they don’t like, targeting private individuals who are pro Palestine, and more that I’m not going to look up for you. The Trump administration is the worst thing we’ve ever had for free speech in America and, if they actually get their way, it’ll be worse than China.

      Ok, one thing at a time.

      The sueing people for reporting the truth

      What, specifically, are you referring to here?

      You can be specific about anything else you’ve mentioned, I was just starting at the beginning.

        Yeah no, I’m not playing this game with a troll account made two days ago.

          I’m not trolling.

          You should learn how to argue effectively. You’ve said nothing of substance.

            Bull. You are clearly acting in bad faith or are otherwise so uninformed of basic, common news that you are worthless to speak with in the first place.

              I’m not acting in bad faith by asking you to be specific about a claim you made.

              You’re the one who is acting in bad faith by calling me a troll for not taking your word at face value.

              Grow up.

                The very second thing you said was an insult. Yes you’re acting in bad faith, troll, and we can all see it.

                  Really? Then why didn’t you say that at the beginning?

                  Why did you say a bunch of things that amounted to nothing and then pivot to calling me a troll when I didn’t take your word at face value?

                  Funny how much effort your putting into this versus just providing a source for your information. It really shows me why you’re getting so upset. You can’t provide citations and think I should be stupid enough to “trust you, bro.”

                  You could be telling the truth, but only a moron/child would accept what you say as fact based solely on what you’ve presented.

                  I’m going to ignore you now since you’re an idiot with no argument.

                  Go back to school and learn how to cite properly. You’re behaving exactly like qanon.
