Just more evidence of the now undeniable war on free speech and the right to lobby and petition our government by the Democrats, the mainstream Fake News media and Socialist's media, and our government here in Virginia, totally run by Democrats, is at the forefront of this war on free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. The Democrats countrywide are starting their Great Purge on Republicans and Conservatives, and the objective is to shut down the free speech and the right to peacefully protest of those who don't politically agree with them, you know, like north Korea, Communist China and Venezuela among others.............................A very bad time for America is coming with the new ALL Democratic government, as the persecution and abuse of Republicans and Conservatives, as well as fundamental American values ramps up, and it has already started.

Right wing armed nutjobs, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, white supremacists and various other groups like QAnon who preach violence and retribution are the reason we can't have nice things like a legitimate exercise of free speech.

We don't need white ISIS trying to take over our state capitol as well.

Trump idiots refuse to respect the law, so we have to treat them like children. Makes sense. He was a rich man born into a rich family and folks gave him power. He loses and cries. Not that complicated.
