Welcome to the United States of Censorship.

Your tour guide today is Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, tweeted some pro-censorship nonsense the other day. In doing so, Murphy proved that (a) he doesn't understand the First Amendment, (b) he wants the internet to be an echo chamber, and (c) he must have slept through high school civics class.

Murphy tweeted that "the survival of our democracy" was dependent upon even MORE censorship.

(Psst: NOT a democracy. I Googled it for you, Chris. How the heck did you get elected when you don't even know this? I guess there isn't a quiz you've gotta pass to be a Senator.)

Anyone north of a Hillary-Clinton-loving liberal knows that there's war on our opinions, while the folks who control the media can say practically anything they want. (Like when CNN anchor Chris Cuomo defended Antifa and freaking compared them to WWII soldiers storming the beach at Normandy, even though he says he didn't.)

Some background information on the wave of censorship

At the center of this brouhaha is Alex Jones's InfoWars, an ultraconservative, conspiratorial media outlet who was recently deplatformed by anyone who matters in the media world.

While I'm personally not a fan of Jones or his website, I'm even less of a fan of censorship. Apple, Facebook, Spotify, and YouTube all removed Jones's accounts within hours of one another, which is blatantly a colluded effort to silence his opinions. And whether you like Jones or not, this should scare the crap out of you if you don't wish to live in an America that only allows one philosophy.

But it didn't start with Infowars. The purge has been going on for quite some time.
