It's long been painfully obvious that the party that once championed free speech in the United States with full-throated ferocity has "evolved" (devolved?) and become the party of narrative gatekeeping and outright censorship. As someone who was raised a liberal Democrat and remained a liberal Democrat until my mid-thirties, the 180 my former party has done on the First Amendment and free speech has set my head spinning. I left my party roughly 20 years ago — but had I not done so first, it would have left me completely in the dust on matters of civil liberties in the interim.
Despite my not-all-that-recent migration from "the left," I've still been stunned at the zeal with which "mainstream" Democrats have, in recent years, embraced the notion that our "betters" know better and we lowly everyday schmoes ought to shut up and listen — and if we don't, the power of the government should be brought to bear upon us. No more "agree to disagree" — it's "agree or be silenced."
I must admit, as we trudged through COVID, I became quite discouraged. We seemed to be sliding down a slippery censorship slope at an ever-increasing velocity, with nowhere to grab a foothold. And then...Elon Musk bought Twitter. Musk did so under the guise of protecting/restoring free speech. I didn't know much about him at the time other than he was extraordinarily rich and seemed rather eccentric, but I did like his stated aims. And then, the Twitter Files broke, compliments of Matt Taibbi and several other independent journalists. And those revelations, combined with the layers slowly peeled back by Murthy v. Missouri (f/k/a Missouri v. Biden), seemingly lifted a huge weight off the public discourse. It felt a bit like we could breathe again.
It was clear from the reaction of many on the left — and particularly in the legacy media — when Musk first made overtures toward Twitter that the prospect of a platform that allowed for free (or freer) speech was anathema — which made it all the more critical that the purchase proceed. It did, of course, and Musk faced all manner of roadblocks in the form of regulations and lawfare lobbed at him, along with advertising boycotts. And the animosity aimed at Musk and the social media juggernaut has only accelerated in the face of his endorsement of former President and current GOP nominee Donald Trump.
Now, thanks to an exclusive report from Paul Thacker of The Disinformation Chronicle and Taibbi/Racket News, we know some of the major players behind the push for those boycotts (UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Party, the Biden/Harris administration, the Kamala Harris campaign, to name a few) — and their ultimate aim: to "kill Musk's Twitter."
