No Words

When the horrible terrorist acts of Wednesday were happening, the people I know on the Right were silent. Were they embarrassed? Frightened? Secretly cheering them on? I honestly have no idea because none of them said a damned word. Many of them still haven't addressed the events, other than to perhaps suggesting it wasn't THEIR people or it's been blown out of proportion or we need to move on and just heal. 

Now they have grasped onto the banning of Trump from various platforms. They're trying to take the moral high ground of this being a first amendment issue or some other freedom of speech issue or how the Left is going to grind them down and destroy everything.

All the while, mind you, with still no comments condemning what happened at the Capitol. It's like it never happened. It's like Trump didn't stand there and tell them to do it. It's like just the Saturday before, Trump was caught on a phone call trying to talk people into committing voter fraud. It's like he didn't fire the people who were there to keep our internet structure safe and therefore allowed hacking from outside governments to happen. It's like he hasn't been destroying and ruining things for four years now. No word on that, just how wrong it is that he's not allowed to continue his pony show of conning and poison on Twitter. 

Look, this isn't like shutting off a private citizen from using social media, although private companies are certainly allowed to do that as well if said citizen breaks the rules. This is cutting off the dangerous words of a dangerous cult leader who is actively trying to get his cult to commit acts of violence and sedition. 

Someone compared this to your cell phone company removing you if you said stuff they didn't like. I mean....look, most people who are committing crimes using phones are smart enough to use burners. They don't do it on Twitter and Facebook. 

I saw someone lament that Biden would probably put them in reeducation camps......and this is someone I saw say no words about Trump putting refugees in camps. It's like they haven't even noticed that the Left is rather hellbent on people NOT going to camps? 

I want Trump impeached. I want this election finished. I want the new administration to begin. Maybe with Trump not as accessible, they'll start to become normal humans again.
