Conservatives are systematically banned, blocked and suspended merely for posting opposing views to this oppression and totalitarianism while left-wing hate and violence proliferates. This will not end well.
#KillKavanaugh’ Begins Showing Up in Twitter Search
By Steven Beyer, Western Joirnal, Octover 1, 2018:
Days after the Senate and President Trump asked the FBI to conduct an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, users began notice a trending hashtag on Twitter. Now, that hashtag, “#KillKavanaugh,” has many conservatives crying foul.
Users began to report the hashtag when they simply typed in “kill” into Twitter’s search feature. When the word is typed in, Twitter auto-completes the search with the suggestion, #KillKavanaugh.
Additionally, if a user just puts in “ki” they are given the option of using “#KillKavanaugh” as well.
Instapundit was one of the first accounts to report the hashtag, and as seen from the screenshots above, is confirmed by the Western Journal.

Breitbart News reports that while most of the use of the hashtag is used to criticize the hashtag, many of the earlier tweets have been banned for using it “unironically and uncritically.”
There are some who would argue, however, that the phrase “Kill Kavanaugh” is meant to describe his nomination to the Supreme Court just like a piece of legislation would be “killed.”
Do you think Twitter displays a “double standard” towards conservatives?
However, Breitbart argues that this hashtag is an example of the “double standard” Twitter displays towards conservatives.
Allum Bokhari for Breitbart writes, “Twitter has in the past been slow or unwilling to address abusive or violent tweets against conservatives and Republicans. When the daughters of Islam critic Pamela Geller were bombarded (sic) with abuse earlier this year, Twitter did nothing.”
Other users have come to a similar conclusion.
So people like me on the right get banned by the likes of Facebook and Twitter but (hat tip to @instapundit ) #KillKavanaugh is trending? pic.twitter.com/k4d8WHUa31

“In fact,” Bokhari continues, “some of the abusive tweets remain on the site, undeleted. In 2016, death threats against sitting Republican senators were allowed to remain on the platform for weeks.”
Kavanaugh’s seat on the Supreme Court remains in question as Republicans requested the White House to ask the FBI to look into sexual misconduct allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford as well as two other women.
On Friday, the Senate Judiciary committee sent out a press release saying, “The supplemental FBI background investigation would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today.”
President Trump responded to the request saying via a statement by Sarah Sanders, ‘“I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week.”

Post away people. Any tweet can be traced bake to the computer is was sent from. Maybe, some of these twits will be surprised when a vehicle, with US Government license plates is parked in front of their house.

That ain’t gonna happen. A “#KillFord” would have the FBI kicking the doors in. Make death threats against a conservative? That’s a good way to be nominated for a Nobel prize.

These are crimes. Prosecute.
A person has the right to disagree, but threats like this are not civilized, nor acceptable means of protest.
Seems to me some have forgotten their humanity.
Boycott venues that allow these threats. Believe it or not, some civilizations did cope, did manage without these social media facilitators, or whatever you wish to call them.

Dear Wallflowers and SticksInTheMud, … Is this what you want?
The Left has already forced us to support crime and import terrorism … now they are working on weaponizing “social media” and banking.
Let the Left get away with this … and we will not even have the electricity to fight back on our keyboards.

The LEFT would like us to look at Venezuela with ENVY and that country is a disaster.

True – and more. The Left wants us to be Venezuela … and behind closed doors they snicker, joke, and delight in the schadenfreude created by their diabolic plans.

I have several thousand rounds, from .22 rim fire … all of the way up to .300 RUM. And, hundreds of 12 gauge 00 Buck. Last I checked, none of my firearms require electricity.

Twitter was already serving no purpose. By subtly condoning murder, Trump should order an army of federal agents to conduct a raid on Twitter and to “interview” every employee. If any evidence is uncovered that the incitement goes to the top, shut it down.

Don’t be fooled. That guy that runs Twittard hates America, hates white people, hates conservatives. Ironically, these are the very people and country that allowed him to be successfool.
Even with Youtard and Fakebook. Yet they are doing everything to get you OFF.

In this current toxic environment created by the crazy nihilistic Democrats, conservative blacks, women, Latinos and Asians will have to come out swinging aggressively in support of the President and his agenda. The crazy nihilistic Democrats and their PR conspirators (MSM) are doing everything to discredit white men, for political advantage. The care not about the consequences of their irresponsible shenanigans.
Let’s not forget, they picked Obama to run in 2006/08, not for his successes or brilliance, only because opposing him can be portrayed as racism. And it worked.

Holocausts are made of such materials as this.
Anyone who the left hates makes the new Holocaust ‘hit list’!
And it is acceptable to society with no outcry. That is the first stage…
poking the giant. If there is no outcry from the population, they have
the green light to move forward from words and threats to deeds
and actual crimes. So it was before and will be again.
