For democracy to survive, we need more censorship. Agree or disagree?

[Anonymous]

It's shameful that the Democratic Party has become a hotbed of neocons.

Censorship is the death of democracy.
One has to ask who would do the censoring and what are their motives and biases.

Thomas Jefferson said the cornerstone of democracy rests on the foundation of an educated electorate.

America's Founders recognized the necessity of vigorous public debate and enshrined the right to speak freely in the Bill of Rights. This component of the Constitution protects a wide range of speech, including speech we might find disagreeable.

No, we need less censorship. George Washington said
"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."
Of course that is what the liberals want. I am not sure if Elon Musk is really serious about buying Twitter of he is just doing it to run up the price of Twitter stock so the richest man in the world can make even more money. I hope he is serious.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Uannoyme]

Disagree. Who are these idiots that don't like their own freedoms?

[OlderAndWiser]

The left seems to operate under the principle that the end justifies the means as long as the goal is endorsed by the left. That idea is quite a slippery slope!

[Slingblade1126]

I've always said, when the democratic party accuses you of something, you can guarantee they're the ones undoubtedly doing it. Two things come to mind, racist behavior and fascist behavior. They don't even hide it.

[Guy13]

For those in support of a “Democracy” like Bernie, Pelosi, and Schumer THEN yes they want MORE Censorship.

For those of a Republic viewpoint then NO on censorship and YES on Bill of Rights and a Godly morality.

[MarkRet]

We don't need more censorship, but we DO need to monitor misinformation and 'alternative facts', and fine whoever is spreading it. We have to stop looking at other Americans as 'the enemy', or we'll suffer the fate of the Weimar Republic.

[MCheetah]

See, THIS is why no one but idiots should be on Twitter.
Especially ironic considering he has a "support Ukraine" flag up, but would probably call anyone who disagrees with his push for censorship a Nazi, making him just like Putin.

It’s been very enlightening to me these past few years witnessing what tyrannical fascists most Democrats are.

[RealMarek]

The US used to be much more of a republic with a democratic component. When a large, complex society is more centralized and democratic, censorship and oppression of the minority is difficult for the majority to resist.

[BCA6010]

Don't worry, the Saudi royal family, Vanguard, and Black Rock will protect democracy...

Very, very hard disagree.

[Avicenna]

Censorship is destructive to democracy. A democracy can't function without political speech, debate and a free flow of information

[EnglishEuropean]

I think y'all need to tackle the problem of misinformation and "alternative facts". Also quit suppressing voting rights.

[Wise4myage]

I concur, Id vote Elon or President if he ran, but he's a foreigner.

[Anonymous]

In order to properly interpret Max Boot’a tweet, simply replace “democracy” with “the democrat party”.
“For the democrat party to survive, we need more content moderation, not less of it”

[Juxtapose]

People like that are greater threat to our nation than any Islamic terrorist.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Only because they’re far more prevalent

[KrakenAttackin]

I love watching liberals being forced to eat a shit sandwich.

[fireforeffect]

Thank God the United States is NOT a Democracy, but a Constitutional Republic!!

[Anonymous]

The US was never a democracy so go ahead try to kill something that wasn't there.

[kuladiamond]

More censorship is never good

[Dargil]

Who do you want to censor?

[OddBeMe]

Is Elon the spokesman of the Dem party?

[QuietRunner]

less censorship

or more cake baking

[JesseJayNeak]

Who gave that fool a Twitter account
