Democrats were supposedly protecting “our Democracy” from Trump by suppressing journalism, suppressing free speech and advertising acting for suppressing Journalists and free speech. I do believe Schiff took an oath to defend the constitution. Why are Amercans tolerating people who advocate violating the constitutional rights of our citizens?

SGT (Join to see) blocking users is completely and totally different from banning them. This is the difference between the right and the left. The left keeps saying the right created cancel culture with their boycotts in the 80s.
When the right doesn't like something they block it for themselves and tell you it is bad so you should block it, too. But they still leave that choice to you. I.e. Trump blocks users from himself, but anyone else can subscribe, view, interact, etc.
When the left doesn't like something they not only want to block it from themselves, they want to block it from EVERYONE. I.e. banning people from Twitter or censoring their posts.
If Trump had asked Twitter to delete the accounts of the people he blocked, I would be just as upset. But that is not what he did. And you know it.

I didn’t state that that’s what trump did. But since you bring it up, he kinda sorta did that, too.

Anyway, despite your stated differences in types of censorship (which isn’t entirely accurate), is one version really better than the other? Generally, censorship is wrong. So I suppose my original question still stands. So where was the angry energy when trump was doing his own brand of Twitter censorship?

Trump (sort of) tells the New York Times: Delete your account
Twitter is finally addressing fake accounts. Trump wants it to go after two specific real ones.

LTC Chu needs to realize that censorship, government coercion to block speech and government officials working to limit speech and Journalism violate the first amendment. Schiff took an oath to uphold the constitution.

I also noticed that he was able to (poorly) paraphrase what is being repeated "out there" but did not once quote the 1st Amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I wonder what "abridging the freedom of speech" actually means?! Actively directing multiple companies as to which accounts to mute/ban and which not?

Why are Americans tolerating this? Because the folks voting for Adam Schiffty see him bullying the "other team," and they fully support it. The ends justify the means. And the ends, in this case, is more power for DemocrHerr.
Of COURSE his Democrat voters (he is in a VERY safe seat - D+23) and Democrat partners in crime, I mean Congress, find nothing wrong, here.
