This is your government. Nice threads. (Oops! Federal offense!)
Red state Texas, hot dog. They keep electing Far Left wacko Sheila Jackson Lee–has she been in the House of Representatives forever, or does it only seem that way?
Anyhow, she’s got this swell idea to widen “hate speech” laws so they can be applied to almost anything you might possibly say: but more specifically, to make it a federal offense for a white person to express criticism or disapproval “directed against any non-White person or group” (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sheila-jackson-lee-introduces-bill-criminalizing-hate-speech).
It got shot down in the House; but the next time Democrats cheat enough to take back the House, they’ll try again.
So let’s say you write a comment on a Facebook page, “I’m sick and tired of Black Lives Matter’s Marxist hypocrisy.” Uh-oh! It’s off to Leavenworth for you! Anything you say that can possibly be seen as an expression of “white supremacy” would brand you guilty of “hate.” (Don’t be confused. It’s not hate when Democrats do it. Ms. Lee can hate you 24/7. But if you say she’s a racist, you could face federal hate crime charges!)
Sometimes I’m surprised America makes it to the end of the week, given the multitude of villains, ninnies, bog-hoppers, schmendricks, jidrools, and wastes of space whom we allow to “govern” us.
And someday it’ll be against the law for me to say that… if “Progressives” have their way.
