The presidential and vice-presidential candidates on the Democratic ticket are openly endorsing censorship and suppression of free speech. This is in open violation of the First Amendment.

Gov. Walz openly endorsed the United States government censoring Americans during the week's vice-presidential debate.

The use of censorship to control free speech has been slowly ratcheting up in the USA for the last decade.

The essay below from Brownstone Institute documents the mind-virus that has infected democrat politicians, which has ignited the insidious spread of the censorship-industrial complex.

Mere words cannot restrain our aspiring censors from weaponizing their power to silence dissent. Enemies of the First Amendment vow to "hammer it out of existence," as John Kerry explained this week, and they are prepared to circumvent legal protections to achieve their aims at all costs. 

Kerry, speaking on a panel on climate change at the World Economic Forum, lamented what he regards as insufficient censorship of "disinformation" and called on his allies to "win the ground, win the right to govern" in order to be "free be able to implement change" despite the "major block" of the First Amendment. 

JOHN KERRY: 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. It's really hard to govern today. You can't — 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.

So it is really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 40-50 years I've been involved in this.

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.
