To be so dependent on any form of censorship, Sarah, is not a good sign for our republic.

There's got to be a better way to raise an effective resistance to neutralize this authoritarian movement.

Way #1: We the People have indeed chosen otherwise. We have rightfully elected Joe and Kamala. We need to fully support them, and support our duly-elected Congress in restoring .gov of the people, by the people and for the people.

Way #2: Spread the word. What we are doing here on Medium is the true exercise of Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom of (online) Assembly.

Presently, we are living through a Gettysburg moment.

President Lincoln was obviously wrong at that battlefield commemoration when he said:

"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here . . ."

But Lincoln was absolutely correct when he concluded his message:

" It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

When you think about it, Sarah, this present battle between "US" and "them" is but a small skirmish in melting pot of history, when compared to that terrible Civil War that our nation survived, fully intact, back in the shadows of our history.

No mere censorship will overcome this clearly present danger.

The correction is up to us, you and me, We the People.

Now its time to get busy. I can see that you are already busy at the task.

Keep up the good work.
