Michael Goodwin: Biden Admin Aims To Collude With Big Tech To Undermine First Amendment

To quote Insty: you may not care about the Gleichschaltung, but the Gliechschaltung cares about you...:

Joe Biden is, at this point in his presidency, by far the worst President of my lifetime. And that's a lifetime that includes Nixon (though I was too young to understand what was going on at the time), Carter, Bush '43, and Trump. None of them, at this point, comes anywhere close to the disaster that is Biden:

   Any assessment of Joe Biden’s performance last week runs into an obstacle. While it was awful from start to finish, the hard part is ­deciding which was the absolute worst moment.
   Was it the president’s latest attack on state voting law reforms, which he bizarrely called “the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War”?
   Was it the administration’s outrageous invitation for the pampered popinjays at the United Nations to sit in judgment of America’s racial strife?
   Or perhaps it was Biden’s decision to push a one-party spending spree of trillions of dollars even as inflation levels reached their highest mark in 13 years?
   Under almost any president, each of those events would qualify as a low point. But Biden is proving to be spectacularly awful at his job, and he did something else that captures the award for the week’s Worst of the Worst.
   Friday, the president accused Facebook of “killing people” and demanded it silence those opposed to or questioning the coronavirus vaccines.
   Coming from the president, this is a breathtaking accusation and demand.
   It far exceeds anything Donald Trump ever said or did. Trump wrongly called some media “the enemy of the people,” but never accused them of actually “killing people.”
   But Biden has — recklessly — and no doubt assumes the lapdog news media will echo his charge.

The Dems have capitulated to the pomo-prog cult, hence have become unmoored from reason and reality. I realize there are a lot of Dems out there who haven't drunk the Kool-Aid...but they're going with the flow or, at best, silently disagreeing. I thought HRC would knock the crazies to the side as the Big Dog had done. Then I thought Pelosi would hold up and be a bulwark against "the Squad," the vanguard of loony in the House. When she capitulated on the crazy, outrageous impeachment scam, it was over for the Dems. I thought there was some chance that Biden would be as good as his word and govern from the center...but I thought it unlikely, and--you can look it up--before the election I argued like so: 

Trump is the monkey wrench at the center of the giant, apocalyptic mechanism of the progressive left. He's  grinding their gears and jamming up a machine the function of which is to destroy the country--which is not to say that's what it was designed to do...but...certainly some some in the vanguard of the left would see that as a happy consequence at least. Electing Biden will, at best, mean replacing that monkey wrench with a big central gear that will allow the smooth functioning of the rest of the mechanism. And that will mean disaster.

Boy I hate bein' right all the time...

   I'll add:  

   The progressive left just keeps being wrong about everything--often undeniably so. Yet it never seems to diminish their certitude that they are crusaders for and on the right side of history, and, as such, are permitted--required!--to brush liberal principles and institutions aside in order to bring about the leftist paradise.

   So get ready to get utopia'd good and hard...
