I believe we've reached the time he foresaw.
Last year, I predicted the tactics that conservatives would be using today to push their #SchoolCensorship,
#BookBanning, and #ThoughtControl agendas.
I accurately called out that they would use slanderous words like "groomer" and "pedophile" if you fought against them.
