Because it's just a bunch of bills that are just going to censor us Basically attack us and not to mention do not forget that they so desperately want section 230 repealed because they want to end up like the UK They hate the fact that we're criticizing them They hate the fact that we're standing with Palestine/Gaza They hate all of that So remember it's not about the kids and remember all of these acts obviously violate the Fourth amendment and the first amendment So it is violating the Constitution

And as a good reminder we cannot trust the Republicans we cannot trust the Democrats we cannot trust the independence we cannot trust anybody in this government because remember both the Democrats and Republicans hell even independence voted on this sure some voted no but others obviously voted yes so we cannot trust any of them so we might as not give them an inch because if we do they will go a mile And what happened was a clear example of what giving them an inch did They went for a mile and passed closer through the house our only chance to stop it is through the Senate and we have to make sure it dies
