From the article:
The referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and what isn’t a fact have kind of been eviscerated, to a certain degree.

This kind of rhetoric should frighten anyone with even half a brain coming from Democrats.

You mean the ones who said Russia had colluded with Trump to get him elected??

Or was it the ones who said that a phone call was treason???

Or perhaps it was the ones who censored anyone who correctly stated the Corona virus came from a Chinese lab?

Does everyone see the irony and ignorance of this delusional elites who foolishly believe they should be the “deciders?”

John Kerry says First Amendment is the enemy, as elites try to stamp out free speech

If you want to know how hostile the global elite are to free speech, look no further than John Kerry’s recent speech to the World Economic Forum.

Rather than extol the benefits of democratic liberty versus dictatorships and oligarchs, Kerry called the First Amendment a “major block” to keeping people from believing the “wrong” things.

The former secretary of state and aide to the Biden-Harris administration told the sympathetic audience:

“You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.

So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”


So what Kerry is saying here is that they need to control Government in order to finally control what is being said and shut down those who disagree. That is what Marxists or Fascists are all about. They no longer pretend to be that anymore.

 
The “freedom” to be won in this election is to liberate officials who like himself can set about controlling what can be said, read or heard. Kerry insisted that the problem with social media is that no one is controlling what they can say or read.

“The dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing. It is part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue,” he said.


Translation: In order to control the narrative like a Marxist autocrat.

“It’s really hard to govern today. The referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and what isn’t a fact have kind of been eviscerated, to a certain degree. And people go and self-select where they go for their news, for their information. And then you get into a vicious cycle.”

Kerry continued: “Democracies around the world now are struggling with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter, and there’s no one who defines what facts really are.”


Translation: Kerry thinks that Government apparatchiks like himself should be the "deciders" of what is truth and fact. Again, it is frightening to see such glaring ignorance in our Democratic elitist politicians.
 
Oh, you're so ignorant. Of course the brainless among us don't find the notion of massive big government apparatchiks controlling speech dangerous.

Like I said, one has to have at least half a brain. You proved my case. I thank you for that. ;)
We have seen that in North Korea and others, dumbass.
 
Never said that it's a good thing. You think "Marxism" is going to happen here in America if Kamala wins.

Do you ever have anything but strawman arguments halfwit? Where did I say Kamala was going to bring Marxism? LINK it.

Why are you even worried? You're the one who guaranteed that Trump will win.

Everyone should be worried about a party and the members in it who evoke speech killing Marxist rhetoric you dim bulb.

Of course, if you have the mental acuity of a lemming and live in your mom's basement, sure, nothing to worry about.
 
The point is it will never happen here in America.

How do you know this?

That is exactly what this article illustrates Kerry and the Democrats are desirous of.

Is your reading comprehension that bad, or you suffer from a very low IQ?

You're terrified for no good reason.
How am I terrified? Be specific. I don't think you can post without bloviating strawmen, looking stupid or lying.

Read my lips- the loss of free speech will not happen here in America.

How do you know this? They are already trying. They have already been caught censoring speech. This article has Kerry and others like him suggesting that the Constitution is an impediment.

Did you even bother reading the article? It is apparent you don't comprehend the topic and are merely here to look like an illiterate dumbass.
