"New Poll: 43% of Republicans Want to Give Trump the Power to Shut Down Media"

"All told, 43 percent of self-identified Republicans said that they believed “the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior.” Only 36 percent disagreed with that statement. When asked if Trump should close down specific outlets, including CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, nearly a quarter of Republicans (23 percent) agreed and 49 percent disagreed."

This shows you what Republicans really think of the Constitution. Most likely they would be stunned if they bothered to read the first amendment to our Constitution.

Now let's watch the conservatives here defend this anti-American attitude of their fellow Party members while desperately trying to blame Obama and Hillary for it somehow.

Clown uses the Dailybeast as his source for political information. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, dimwit, I used the poll company to get my information and then found an article synopsizing the important stuff for morons like you who can't read scientific papers.

Notice RealTool doesn't even try to deny the vile anti-American dimwittedness of Republicans.

He's one of those who supports Trump shutting down media outlets.

So this would mean that about half of conservatards are in support of a dictatorship?

Trump apparently thinks protesting football players are a greater threat to our democracy than Nuclear missiles from North Korea and hackers from Russia.

The Left favors censorship on campus, on the Internet, everywhere.

Did I call it or what?

johnforbes is actually here defending Republican anti-American beliefs by comparing a community not wanting white supremacist hate speech and violence on a campus or town square to dictatorial, banana republic government control of the media.
Of course, no liberal has EVER supported government control over the press while conservatives have, as the poll shows.

johnny's comparison demonstrates he honestly thinks they represent comparable views, so he showed up to support the Republican authoritarians in the poll by conflating censorship of speech that foments violence with government control of the press.

The Left is defining "hate speech" as anything which isn't Democrat ideology.

This is astoundingly hypocritical, and stupid.

Besides, the NY Times just hired an open racist kid, Sarah Jeong.

I never did agree with putting people on ignore, or blocking, or banning.

Let free speech flow.

The more a leftist lunatic speaks, the more he reveals himself.

I remember when Trump demanded that Samantha Bee should have been fired for making certain remarks? Now Trump says that some language be banned from media and calls for Bee to be fired. Trump was acting as a government agent and infringed on Bee’s right to free speech.

The more the rightist lunatic speaks, the more he reveals himself.

I remember when Roseanne Barr was fired from her employment
for exercising her 1st Amendment right to free expression . On her own time...! :o
