Blows my mind to see otherwise intelligent people propagate the idea of an orwellian Biden presidency, when it was tRump that spent 4 years telling us lies. He even said not to believe what you see and hear, and to believe only him. The only president in history to openly attack the news source that keep us informed.

What lies? And "...the news source that keep [sic] us informed..." Really? You obviously didn't watch this video or you would have seen just how uninformed/misinformed they attempt to keep us. Now granted, President Trump did once say "...I have a pen and a phone..." as a declaration that he would pass laws without the consent of Congress. (Oh wait, that was President Obama) Indeed, President Trump has spent the past four years returning power to We the People, getting us out of bad international agreements, making peace, ending wars. Yeah, that's a helluva lot of "Orwellian stuff" going on there. Meanwhile, if Biden/Harris really do win (which is not yet decided) you have only to read their campaign platform to read about just what an Orwellian Administration would look like

BTW, I just ran across another item for you to consider. Both Biden and Harris are very outspoken in their desire to eliminate our 2nd Amendment Rights. Well, here's the word on the First Amendment from their transition team leader for media...
"President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team leader for US-owned media outlets wants to redefine freedom of speech and make “hate speech” a crime.

Richard Stengel is the Biden transition “Team Lead” for the US Agency for Global Media, the US government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Stengel, an Obama administration alumnus, wrote last year in a Washington Post op-ed that US freedom of speech was too unfettered and that changes must be considered.

He wrote: “All speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails. I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.”

Stengel offered two examples of speech that he has an issue with: Quran burning and circulation of “false narratives” by Russia during the 2016 election.

“Even the most sophisticated Arab diplomats that I dealt with did not understand why the First Amendment allows someone to burn a Koran. Why, they asked me, would you ever want to protect that?” Stengel wrote. That Orwellian enough for you?

That's a fair assessment, still I tend to take people at their word, even politicians. When Biden and Harris publicly avow their intentions to do all in their power to infringe on our rights to keep and bear arms, I believe them. Now we have a key member of their transition team taking aim on our First Amendment rights...

CPT Jack Durish What I meant by my assessment is the powers at be didn't want Hiliary in power so Trump won the electoral in 16. After making a big mistake realizing what they did they made it there intent to be rid of him. They couldn't do it through process or impeachment so they decided they wanted Biden. You're older an all the more Wiser than I Jack an I still believe people by there words but I believe in the actions more. An I've come to realize the shadow government wants their power back. Hence why Biden isnt placing radicals or progressives in his cabinet as of yet.
