“Let’s be clear: an attack on one person’s First Amendment rights is an attack on everyone’s. That’s how authoritarianism spreads—by silencing dissent, intimidating critics, and convincing people to sit quietly on the sidelines.”
- Adam Kinzinger, former Republican Congressman (2011-2023)
Freedom of speech matters in our democracy but our current President wants to silence criticism against him by revoking the licenses of media outlets that allow it. That may sound good to MAGA followers but we need to understand that if Trump can use that to silence his critics, the next liberal President can do likewise only it could be the opposite side being muted. Think about that.
