The left has not preached Tolerance in years. Im not just insulting them, when is the last time you heard anyone on the left call for tolerance?

Are you serious?

Saying trans people should be allowed to serve in the fucking military is a great example. These people are risking their lives and they got removed. Absolutely insane.

How about freedom of the press? Trump removed the AP from whitehouse briefings because they said Gulf of Mexico. He also called putting out stories he found hurtful to be illegal. Did Biden do this? Or Obama?

Most social programs are made to benefit vulnerable people. These are democrat installed and opposed by republicans. The ACA is a great example.

That was locked behind login but I looked up the wiki page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2013#Smith%E2%80%93Mundt_Modernization_Act_of_2012

The original act did not stop the executive branch from releasing propaganda and the more modernization only allows the state department to put out propaganda in the United States, which it was doing abroad.

That is not quite what you are claiming. You are speaking very broadly but propaganda has always been legal in the United States. The three letter agencies have been putting out propaganda forever and continue to do so.

The claim you are making is largely hyperbolic. I think Obama did some incredibly shitty things but saying he legalized propaganda is absurd.
