    So by that logic, we shouldn’t make any political jokes anymore? This is getting awfully close to censorship.

      I didn’t block you from making the joke. That’s censorship. I merely pointed out the problem in doing so and that I’m done with it. Take pepe, see how the right ran with that to the point it represents racism.

        No, you don’t have the power/ability to censor, so you’re doing the only thing you can, which is attempting to stifle speech that you (incorrectly) think is counter to your own beliefs, in true right-wing style.

        Congratulations! You’ve become the thing you say you’re fighting against!

        I know, and that’s why I didn’t say it was actually censorship. Just really close.
