I Have Not ‘Called for Chinese-Style Censorship of the Internet’
Person holding a phone showing Twitter homepage by Solen Feyissa (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=twitter&title=Special:MediaSearch&go=Go&type=image) I spend a lot of time and effort at my law school promoting the free exchange of ideas and ensuring that unpopular speakers have a platform. I do not believe I have ever advocated censorship of anything or anyone.

Republicans are not good winners
When Trump would brag about actual accomplishments, the media would go insane with denials. When Biden brags about a fictional win, the press swoons. If Trump had a hangnail the media would find 50 doctors to analyze his mental clarity; if Biden demonstrates confusion and fantasy, they smile and nod. So I'd call the media/press the #1 reason there was no red wave. #2 would be the stupidity of Democrats who can't stop clinging to their party's lies about climate, sex and abortion hoping to get that old feeling of self-righteousness granny and gramps had during the Civil Rights era.... read more
