It’s easy to understand the dejection that prompted Ben Stein’s recent American Spectator column, “Goodbye, America.” But despair is a distorted lens through which the future always appears bleak. The Biden administration is indeed colluding with Big Tech to crush dissent. But like all previous Democratic attempts to suppress free speech, such as the Sedition Act of 1918, they will ultimately fail. SCOTUS moves at an excruciatingly glacial pace. Yet the Roberts Court, for all its faults, has issued an impressive series of rulings that have bolstered the First Amendment. Republicans in Congress and the state legislatures have been dilatory in responding to the threat, but they are taking action.

I appreciate this article. It is encouraging, and accurate. We need to keep on keeping on.

In it's present stage, I hope she does die.

There is no doubt that they have us on our heels but ultimately the left was overconfident and reckless after they thought it was safe to come out as Marxists since after Hillary's win in 2016 they'd never face another challenge for power. In desperation in 2020 they pulled out all the stops and have had to move at breakneck speed during the Biden reign. By abandoning the slower process of carefully avoiding an awakening hoping we'd assume it was politics as usual rather than a complete abandonment of the constitutional republic, they have shown us their cards. Now we are fighting back.. We are still struggling to figure out how to go about doing that but I do believe the fight is on.
Electing Donald J Trump was the single most impactful moment in the history of humanity's quest for freedom since WWII.

From the article, " the Roberts Court, for all its faults, has issued an impressive series of rulings that have bolstered the First Amendment."
I appreciate an optimistic article, I really do, but after they caved on The Crime of the Century which was committed on Nov 3, 2020, I can never have any faith in the SC. The Roberts court surely has "faults." Being corrupt and compromised is definitely faulty.

Dead and buried, but most cannot see beyond their own bubble. The commies easily took control of EVERY facet of government, education and media while conservatives preached that government service was a bad thing or something to be avoided (e.g. “government employees are all shiftless, lazy louts”). You did this to yourselves and I say this as a loner in the wilderness during my 27 years in government service. But in your defense, you did post some edgy snark on the internet. It’s tantamount to posting “someone is drowning” rather than jumping in and making a difference. Now the current line is akin to, “I’m optimistic that the lifeless body pulled from the water might recover.” With your optimism and $50, you might be able to buy some Black Rifle Coffee. You have no idea how much the American Right clown show has hurt the patriots actually fighting because it gave the grotesquely ignorant a sense that they were “contributing to the cause” when they were not, and now it’s too late. Big Brother is here to stay. Say your prayers (and I mean that sincerely). God is watching.

With millions of Third World illegal aliens invading our country and being supported by the rest of us, this country is doomed.

The ideas and hopes expressed by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration and Constitution are not dead nor will they die because they express the spirit of mankind. America on the other hand is dead and it has been for some time. To state otherwise is simply a denial of the facts. The rift between those who value life, freedom, and liberty is too wide between those of the socialist left.This government (and it started before the puppet took office and before Trump) is broken beyond repair. The financial system stopped being Capitalist years and years ago and is now a twisted hybrid between Socialism, Fascisim (most have no idea what this idealogy is or what this word means), and an abusive form of Capitalism. There is no longer a sense of National pride and culturally we as individuals share nothing with the vast majority of the inhabitants of this land. This country is merely small tribes of people with some Tribes exerting extreme influence and power. No, America is dead, done, and dusted and has been for some time; and its existence will continue to morph into the morass and chaos that is ALWAYS created by the progressive and marxist sirens we see entrancing so many today.

We are definitely doomed if we're foolish enough to depend on the courts to save US.

No, so long as she still has a line of credit somewhere, the Democrats will keep her on life support. Like the mob running that bar into bankruptcy in Goodfellas.
