Stunning is definitely a good word to describe this poll where the majority of Democrats admit they don't believe in free speech and most definitely want the federal government calling the shots. No really, we're not even making this up.
We're not sure we could even if we tried.
Check this out:
Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) ~ Stunning numbers among Dems in RCOR's new poll on free speech and censorship:
47% of Dems say free speech should be legal 'only under certain circumstances.
34% of Dems say Americans 'have too much freedom'
75% of Dems say government has a responsibility to censor 'hateful' social media posts
Only 31% strongly agree with the statement, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.'

All scary but the idea that any American thinks Americans have too much freedom and that the government has a responsibility to censor hateful content? REALLY? Attention, Democrats, there are already a few big Communist countries out there that sound like they are way more up your warped alleys. Or maybe that's more fascist.
Either way, this is NOT a good look.
Communist ... Socialist ... Fascist ... Marxist ... they're all tyrannical Statism. Nothing but left-wing totalitarianism.

Maaaan, we hope not.
That's why God saw to it that Americans' inalienable right to own and bear firearms was enshrined and protected under The Constitution.
Jack Jolis (@JackJolis) ~ Demoâ˜rats.
That 👆 is the correct spelling.
David Biddle (@davidebiddle) ~ It's really not stunning. This has been the mindset of the left for a while now. They are the authoritarians, the ones who feel they get to decide what you are allowed to say.
Oh, they're much worse than that ... they FEEL like they have the right to decide what you are allowed to say ... what you can believe ... what you can think ... what you can read ... what you can and cannot celebrate ... what you can buy ... etc. ... etc. ... etc.
Fair enough.
This editor wasn't exactly stunned to see this poll ... or even a little shocked.
The Left has been telling and showing us who they really are for decades now.
