Replying to Avatar GrumpyGardener

I keep seeing posts on how free speech is a threat to democracy...

Can we just all just agree on the deciphered code on this one and understand yhat "democracy" = "communism" when spoken by the media or Democrats?

I thought this much would be clear by now. When they say "Our Democracy" they might as well be saying "La Costra Nostra".

It certainly does not mean free speech, informed electorate, democratic process, rule of law, equality, or any of the things we would normally attach to the word.

No. You’re absolutely right. This hijacking of the language is baffling and I really cannot understand how people just accept it..

It's appalling. When we accepted politically correct language as a society, we also accepted that the preferred language comes from the talking heads.

From there, we now allow them to control the language. Words have meaning and the frame our reference.
