Undecided voters, ask yourselves how happy you’d be living in an actual dictatorship where you could go to jail for saying the wrong thing. A republic without democracy is like Viktor Orban’s Hungary, a one party state where power is always controlled by a small group of oligarchs. Trump has stated that he wants to repress his enemies and form a police state perpetually under martial law, Biden would never do that. If you love democracy and don’t want to lose it for good, then vote for Biden.

2/ A reply someone got when they disagreed with the👇🏼 account below (after the one below replied w "Free speech is important" to my above toot):
"yeah, all I've got are these two stupid law degrees... Please tell me about constitutional law and what Donald Trump did that makes it so, so obvious that the protections of the first amendment no longer apply to him."
I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is, when your speech endangers lives, you get gag ordered.

The full effects of the AR-15’s destructive force are rarely seen in public.
They blast through classroom doors, splinter wooden church pews, mangle human bodies and, in just seconds, shatter the lives of people attending a concert, shopping on a Saturday afternoon, going out with friends and family, working in their offices and worshiping at church and synagogue. They kill first-graders, teenagers, mothers, fathers and grandparents.
