Pat, and here in lies one of the main problems of suppressing free speech. You say Trump incited an “insurrection” on January 6th. You totally ignore the fact that he asked for a peaceful protest at “The Peoples House”, and you ignore the fact that the capital police opened the doors for the protestors, and that BLM members were also in the crowd. One protester actually sat in Pelosi’s chair and I think he still sits in solitary confinement for this “violent” crime against the government. Where is your rage about the real violence from Antifa and BLM? Where cities were completely destroyed and people died! Ashli Babbitt, an “Unarmed” Air Force veteran was killed by capital police on January 6th.

In your mind, I should have no right to express my feelings, but you should. This is exactly what Wayne was trying to convey in this podcast.

I am a Monthly supporter of DxE, and I’m also a Trump supporter. I have been to many protests for animals, and have had guns pointed at me (and hell yes, it’s terrifying). You have no right to cancel me anymore than I have a right to cancel you. But the difference is, I’m Not trying to cancel you because you don’t share all my beliefs. When you cancel me, you cancel an animal rights activist. This podcast was well thought out and beautifully written, but it seems what he was trying to convey was canceled by your hatred of me.
