THE FACE OF PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT EVIL
Here is a Tweet from President Biden that uses a well-worn rhetorical trick to condemn individuals' behavior and coerce them into taking action to affirm beliefs they may have no interest in proclaiming in public.
The trick is to state a few obvious truths or well-accepted facts or opinions, then condemn or shame anyone who disagrees by claiming silence is affirmation.
This practice is so diabolical because it forces individuals and organizations to make statements on subjects they would rather not disclose or discuss in public.
No! Silence is not complicity -- silence is often the better part of discretion. By speaking in favor of something promoted by one group or another, you may be tacitly providing affirmation or acceptance to other views you disagree with.
Bottom line…
We are so screwed when forces outside our immediate control manipulate us.
