Conservatives are pushing to “wake up” the right of “FCC control” from Kimmel
There is a term floating now – “waking up right”. And if you have not heard before, you are about to hear it a lot. It is used to describe conservatives who suddenly embrace the tactics that he made for years in irony: moral violations, loyalty tests, and canceling a pile similar to culture.
James Lindsay – a writer who is already used to work with Charlie Kerk Point, USA – a long time formulated. And he warned that if the conservatives continue to move in this direction, they will go on the path of self -destroy. Well, we are here.
In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kerk, calls for revenge against anyone who dared to criticize the ears were deaf. Some conservatives want people to release, and they are ashamed publicly, even a trial. Here is the paradox: Charlie Kerk built his career as a warrior of freedom of expression. Now, in his name, some of his closest allies undermine the thing he fought for.
Candace Owens put this way: “PAM BONDI, a full loser and a tool, used the assassination of Charlie Kirk to lay the foundation for hate laws – the thing that Charlie was fighting. They all got right to work.”
Taker Carlson seemed the same alarm: “Hopefully, a year later will be used that the disturbances that we see in the wake of his killing will not be used to bring hate laws to this country.”
Even Senator Ted Cruise (R -TEXAS) called on the Chairman of the FCC Board of Brendan Car against Jimmy Kimmel’s show: “This is directly from” Goodfellas “. This is directly from Maviuu to a pub, and going to” Nice tape you have here, it will be a shame if something happens ” – I love Brenden Car but we should not be in this work.
Now, let me stop here. Republicans are not strangers to hold each other accountable; Just see how to dismantle them on Epstein files or call over their parties. Democrats may learn something or two of this playing book. But what the stomach cannot be selective anger.
For years, Maga governors have criticized censorship and Urub against the so -called liberal cancellation culture. But now? Some of these themselves play the same control card. And their largest hypocrites may be Donald Trump.
Remember this moment of the opening day? “After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict freedom of expression, I will also sign an executive to stop all government oversight and restore freedom of expression to America.”
Or take Elon Musk, who boldly tweeted him, “If the employer is dealt with unfairly because of the publication of something on this platform or your admiration for it, we will finance your legal bill. No, please tell us that.”
So what is it? Freedom of expression for all, or freedom of expression only for the people who agree with? Because at the present time, it seems that Maga has moved from the ridicule of culture to its manufacture.
If the conservatives really want to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk, they will not be able to arm the sadness to silence the opposition. This does not protect freedom of expression – and this is his betrayal.
Do better. If you believe in something, fight to make it a law for everyone – not just people next to you. Otherwise, you do not defend freedom. You just run your own version of Cancel Culture – and call it something else.
