You don't need to be a libertarian to know that whenever someone starts off a sentence with "The government must implement new regulations to ...", your first response should be to want to smack that person across the face.
You know, figuratively speaking, of course.
Yes, the federal government does need to pass laws and implement regulations. But those rules should be kept to a bare minimum, and they should NEVER interfere with our fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Rights, for instance, like freedom of speech.
But Democrats abhor those rights and, lately, they aren't afraid to say so. In the 2024 presidential campaign, Tim Walz flat-out stated that he doesn't believe in freedom of speech or the First Amendment.
Two years later, Democrats aren't exactly course-correcting; they're doubling down. This weekend, on the abhorrent Jennifer Welch's podcast, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy took a break from his cringy walks across his state to openly declare that the left needs government to control social media so that people won't be "fooled" into voting for Donald Trump. Or, we can only assume, any Republican, ever.
Watch:
Chris Murphy tells Jennifer Welch that government needs to regulate social media so that people are less likely to support a candidate like Donald Trump.

We love how he couches his demand for a Ministry of Truth in his fake concern about "people being alone."

Classic Marxist tactic right there.
The truth is, as always, the exact opposite. Democrats NEED people to be in isolation. The more people join in their communities, particularly local communities, the less likely they are to have, for instance, an online groomer convince them that they were "born in the wrong body."
More important, however, is Murphy's admission that the left will never stop trying to control information so that they are the arbiters of "truth," not the people themselves.
It has nothing to do with loneliness or people’s safety. They want to control social media so any political messaging comes from them, and any others are silenced https://t.co/e7Aa2XM7tG

We know this because they already did it. With a great degree of success, unfortunately.
Until, that is, Elon Musk bought Twitter and released the Twitter Files, proving how the Biden administration covertly tried to silence anyone who disagreed with its narratives.
(PS — That's why Democrats hate Musk, more than anything else.)
We went down this road before. Remember Covid? Remember getting your tweets deleted, Remember getting shadow banned, remember getting FB Fact Checkers Telling you your opinion is wrong. Remember the tyranny!!! I said REMEMBER THE TYRANNY! Thats a command! https://t.co/bUZTrOeeTu

Remember Nina Jankowicz?
Murphy would bring her back and give her unlimited power in a heartbeat if he could.
Fascism https://t.co/Ihm6jqhowX

Yes, THAT is what fascism looks like. It's not President Trump making DC safe again, building a ballroom or renovating the Reflecting Pool (much to Jim Acosta's dismay).
Growing up and living around leftists all my life, this really is their hang up…they think that people are easily manipulated into voting for right wing candidates and if they just curate the information people see, just a finger on the scales, the ignorant masses will see the… https://t.co/AG6Ml2Eb2m

"If only we could remove all alternatives. Then everyone would vote for us."
Sounds kind of dictator-y to us.
@ChrisMurphyCT sounds like a CCP party member.

Oh wait...
Adulterer Chris Murphy has gone full communist here ! https://t.co/vDGEj1q6Xe
— Linda Sue (@LindaSue859898) September 21, 2026
He always has been.
Democrats just used to be a little better at hiding it.
In other words, they want to control our thoughts. They want us as slaves.
— Dee Dee Weeks (@DeeDeeWeeks) September 21, 2026
Yep. Pretty much.
59% of Democrats support the Democratic Socialists of America.
— Gary Doyle (@GetInTheGame18) September 21, 2026
The party has become the anti-American party. The party of Socialism/Communism.
Free Speech is their enemy (always).
Believe them when they say it out loud.
Oh, we absolutely believe him.
What an a*****e. https://t.co/oWEWIQAkjj

With apologies for the French language there, that's Murphy in a nutshell.
It is also just about every Democrat in America today.
We hope everyone gets out to vote accordingly in the midterms. Because if Democrats gain power in Washington again, they'll bring all of the censorship back faster than Chris Murphy can abandon his wife.
