Quit catering to pussies. Let people block and then quit trying to censor people into being Stepford users online. If someone doesn't like something some mean person says, they can block. Otherwise stay the hell out of people's way. Trying to cram everybody into the snowflake generation will never be easy, will never work well and will always screw someone out of an opinion.

Net Neutrality was an abomination masquerading as freedom. The government cannot do anything well or cheaply. The internet grew up and matured with out net neutrality and is better off with government sticking their fingers in it. And if you don't know that the NRA is the premier civil rights organization today, you are simply uninformed. Learn history and why we have the 2A.

Don't confuse anti-US College with anti-education. The republicans simply don't believe the US colleges teach. Much like the public school systems have been failing our children, the universities in the US have gone bat-shit crazy with the liberal arts. Instead of teaching, they are indoctrinating naive young adults into a moronic social Marxist ideology: safe spaces, trigger warnings, deplatforming everyone they don't like, extreme anti-white cis male sentiment being taught in classrooms. It's not just a single instance, Missou, Yale, Evergreen and in Canada you have the BS going on with Toronto University and Jordan Peterson.

College has never been the only way to become educated. It was just the best/easiest. They no longer are.

Why build up $40k in student loans, earning a degree in XYZ Studies, to find out that you are still only qualified to work at Starbucks.

America runs on a series of checks and balances: congress can create a law and the president can sign it or override it with a veto; if the president vetoes it, then an overwhelming vote in congress can override the veto; if a bill is passed in congress and the president signs it into law then the supreme court can still strike it down if it isn't constitutional; and if all of these things fail, Americans can vote people into office whose ideas are more closely aligned with their own.

However, if the American people are denied the very knowledge that their government is acting in a way anathema to the interests of a free society, we cannot make a knowledgeable decision when we vote. The penultimate check and balance Americans have at their disposal will be based on opinions created with misinformation or no knowledge at all of what their chosen representative's are actually doing.

The American public cannot be left in the dark and still make informed decisions when we choose the people to represent us in government.
