Aim of Trump Impeachment Is to ‘Chill and Criminalize Speech’ that Opposes Leftist Agenda

[pipedreams]

"Tom Fitton, conservative activist and president of Judicial Watch, told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” in an interview that he believes the aim of bringing an incitement of insurrection charge against former President Donald Trump is to “chill and criminalize speech” that opposes the agenda of those on the political left.

“And what the left is trying to do is outlaw opposition to its agenda. Number one on the list is concerns about election integrity,” he said. “If you raise concerns about it, you need to be de-platformed, or worse.”

David Schoen, one of the attorneys representing Trump, said Friday that “this unprecedented effort is not about Democrats opposing political violence. It is about Democrats trying to disqualify their political opposition. It is Constitutional cancel culture.”"

Nailed it.   They are scared as hell of us.  And for good reason.  Trump hit a nerve.

He planted seeds everywhere.  This isn't over.

well...  If you can believe polls here may be a reason BOTH parties wanted to write an Obit on Trump.

64% of Repubs and 15% of Dems would join a new "Trump" party.   That's enough to scare the bejeeves out of any politician and screw up any "business as usual"!!

The worst thing we can do is to remain silent. 
 

This is a Silent Coup. It has been in the works for at least 70 years. We can’t just sit quietly and let it happen. 
 

Criminalization of speech is their front line weapon.
