“Emergency, emergency! Somebody said something I don’t like!”
President Donald Trump has his work cut out for him.
Eight states, 12 “jurisdictions” (cities, counties), now have “Bias Response Hotlines” which you can call and rat out anyone who has said anything that you find offensive (https://freebeacon.com/policy/inside-state-run-bias-response-hotlines-where-fellow-citizens-can-report-your-offensive-joke/). We would be astounded to discover that these, er, “protections” are to be extended to Christians or Republicans. Somehow it never, ever turns out that way.
“Offensive jokes” are on the menu–Oregon will pay for therapy for POCs and other frail characters who are offended–and state action is “based solely on the feelings of this offended.”
They avoid First Amendment violations by making out that remarks that are “offensive” may also be “non-criminal” and anyway they just wanna be sure nobody’s telling offensive jokes and getting away with it. They’re not going to through you in jail for telling a joke: but they will bother you. Gotta get your mind right, y’know.
It is estimated 100 million Americans live under such a regime–the Grand Crusade Against Hate.
God knows how many years it’ll take to get rid of it.
