So now, here you have just a drop in a thimble, of people wanting, and denying, 'Free Speech', because the view expressed does not mesh with their view.

Read these links, all of them,
find and read, the many, many more that are out their,
then come to your own conclusion.

and let AOC, BS, CY just TELL YOU, what to think)
