To Hell with Freedom of Speech and the 1st Amendment Be Damned!

An issue that just a decade ago might have served as the imaginary plot for a fictional, apocalyptic, political movie has now entered the field of American reality. Open government censorship is already with us. In an overarching manner, the aim of one crucial US government policy seems to be to halt the expansion of knowledge in all possible fields.

At reputable Universities, research grants and scholarships are being eliminated while those institutions have been warned that allowing in their campuses for any kind of dissent that the administration deems “illegal” is punishable by defunding (see here).

Columbia University, for one, has recently lost $400 million worth of Federal Funding as retribution for their alleged inaction in protecting Jewish students on their premises (see here). Then there’s the question of government employees’ disagreeing with the Maga stance, be it in a perceived or alleged manner.

Just the fact of having been hired by any previous administration is reason enough to be unwanted in the current administration, like those 80,000 HHS employees who have been recently offered $25,000 in cash if they quit their jobs (see here).

The idea is to vacuum-clean out of the government bureaucracy any elements at any level who will not have been vetted by the Maga pro-Trump police. The idea is to eliminate diversity of any kind, but most particularly diversity of political views. The Führer’s vision must at all cost reign supreme over any divergent ones.

Actually, the idea is to nip divergent political visions in the bud by not allowing them to be contemplated or cultivated in the minds of the American youth in the first place, that is, by not even allowing any kind of "non-Maga-approved" ideas to be taught at American schools and Universities.

Any line of thinking that might eventually lead to disagreeing with the Führer’s autocratic designs has to be rooted out of all possible institutions, be they of the educational, governmental, or any other kind.

The unthinkable is no longer such. The unbelievable is quickly metamorphosing into reality. What barely 10 years ago seemed unbreakable and cast in stone is proving to be utterly fragile, malleable, and destructible.

The highly-revered 1st Amendment is being reduced to vain words written on paper, toilet paper. And freedom of speech might as well be damned!

Welcome to MagAmerica.
