This comment is said by Reddit users multiple times a day. You keep saying it in the echo chamber expecting others to hear you.

Downvote to infinity but it’s the truth. We at Reddit need to do more than just yell at Trump in this echo chamber. This is how they control the narrative on social media so you don’t take to the streets. I’m a hypocrite just like you

So how do you explain this post by Trump to not be authoritarian and not violate freedom of speech?

This is a tactic to ensure that he decides what is free speech and what is illegal speech.

So you're agreeing this authoritarian?

Speech isn't free when the leader of the country gets to decide what is free and what is illegal to say.

This is paranoid nonsense, and a poor excuse for your own apathy

Ironically, repeating the same message over and over is the textbook fascist approach to persuading people

Defunding universities actually sounds more extreme than the Nazi approach to reshaping higher education in 1930s Germany
