Republicans have only begun their 'cancel culture' by banning books and therefore, ideas. If they

gain any kind of real power in Congress or in the White House again, we can assume that other Freedom Of Speech venues such as the INTERNET will be next in their sites.

TV is mostly already doomed.

Election Denier fuck-ups are falling into the right wing trap and bringing us all down with them.

"government is bad", "cut the entitlements", "Trump is a strong leader" nonsense.

They are willing to gut themselves because they are willfully ignorant.
