Biden's not-so-subtle lurch toward dictatorship

[seoulbro]

In the wake of the midterm elections, President Joe Biden was asked during a rare press conference, in reference to Twitter’s new owner, whether he thought Elon Musk was a threat to national security. With a pause and a smirk, the president said that topic was “ worthy of being looked at. ”

With those words, Biden made it clear that if you even seem to oppose his politics, your private life will be under the direct scrutiny of the state. Despite his constant prattle about saving our democracy, Biden seems to think he’s running an authoritarian police state.

Despite Musk’s having followed the law, Biden, on a whim, wants to change the game. Suddenly, and after years of Twitter and other social media having significant foreign investors, a normal and transparent voluntary transaction is a potential “threat to national security.”

Biden signaled his desire to strip off the veneer of the rule of law and use the power of the presidency as a dictator would—by his whim and without respect for the rules that everyone else must abide by.

Tragically, our free society has given way to increasing government manipulation — weakening our communities and civic institutions along the way.

Niche corporate and political interest groups stopped focusing on how to produce value for other people and instead on how to persuade politicians to regulate in their favor—a system where you’re rewarded for wielding the manipulative power of government, not for providing value to society.

We stand now at a place where the federal, local, and state governments consume and redirect more than a third of what Americans work hard to produce, and where the burden of regulations is an additional quarter of our economy . Put differently, out of your five-day workweek, two days are there just to feed the government.

With his shameful comment on Musk and Twitter, Biden made it clear that the rules apply as he sees fit, to whom he sees fit. There can be no prosperity in a country where your right to the fruits of your labor is not sacrosanct, and where the law is applied unevenly to favor those connected to the regime.

The Biden administration has acted with reckless irreverence toward our institutions and continued the intentional chipping away of the rule of law. The administration increasingly has weaponized the federal government against the American people.

We’ve seen the Biden administration come for industry after industry and sap the strength of our nation through an onslaught of regulations . He has unleashed an inflationary plague that already has stolen $7,400 from the average American family.

One need only look to the coal industry to see the honorable and necessary occupations that Biden now attacks. If history is any guide, heads of state who recklessly abuse the natural rights of their people rarely curtail their own crusade.

Biden may have directly named Elon Musk at that press conference, but his threat was aimed at every household in America.

Trudeau and Biden see free speech and free markets not as protection from tyranny, but roadblocks to autocratic rule.

FUCK JOE BIDEN

[Joe]

The beginning of eroding the civil liberties of American citizens began with Bush administration, seoulbro.

And W Bush's sucessors including the Democrats followed them down this path including Obama & has continued with Trump perhaps along with Biden.

Unfortunately this has eroded our civil liberties & other democracies too.

The elites wanted this to control us further because they thought we were having too much freedom.

So they put the scare into us starting with 911.

Which civil liberties do you imagine Trump undid?

Why does anybody respond directly to Joe's lame, antiquated trolling.
