Well, well now, a Democrat again letting the cat out of the bag – cancel those people that we don’t like and who won’t follow our narrative. Have a dissenting opinion? SHUT UP, she says:
Candace Mouton is running for NH State Rep, Manchester Ward 9, by the way.

A far cry from when I was younger when Democrats actually believed in protecting the Civil Liberties of Individuals like Free Speech. Now, I have no problem with the run of the mill Democrat saying that Government should shut down Fox News (well, actually, I do but stick with me here), but when someone is running for Government to play a role in setting our Laws, that’s a bit Nope.
This is the problem with those running for office (and yes, there are Republicans included): if you aren’t inculcating the precepts of YOUR basic Law to follow (the NH and US Constitution), you are just DANGEROUS. You are a menace to the rest of us (as well as everyone else that shares your political philosophy).
She’s trying to figure out whether to run or go to grad school. Please, PLEASE – whatever grad school she applies to, PLEASE accept her. I’m betting that attending to patients, I hope, she’ll be far less dangerous to the rest of us.
Freedom of Speech is a Foundational Pillar of our Constitutional Republic. Eliminate that and we might as well be living under the “governance” of Putin and Xi.
Nice to know she’s in favor of that simply because it tells us that [speech] despots live amongst us.
How would she feel if I ran for office and made it illegal for her to use her Gay icon on her Twitter page? Would she, perhaps, get the nub of the idea that what she believes in is a horrible idea when the “other side” does it as well? I’m sure it would be a Nope to the first question. I’m doubtful that she would “get it” to the second.
Or is it the case that she believes the Democrats will grab, and then hold onto, Power over the rest of us, making my two questions irrelevant.
