And for what?
Because she was critical of Donald Trump at the Golden Globes last night? Where she never actually mentioned him by name, everyone knew whom she was talking about.
But, then there was a huge uproar about it this morning from the supporters of Donald Trump.
They would like to silence Meryl Streep and everyone else that might say something unflattering to Donald Trump.
Free speech is under attack from these people. If we lose our right to criticize the President or anyone else in government, it would be a nail in the coffin for our Constitution and our way of life.

(7,770 posts)It's really pissing me off. I guess nothing really pisses me off more. With out free speech-you are being abused. Because your mind isn't even allowed to be free. Don't censor yourself. It's all that keeps me sane. I have my FuckTrump button on my coat. I won't take it off until he's gone or I'm in jail.

Though she has a lot of people that will never, ever like her, I honestly think Hilary Clinton has the demeanor and patience needed to pull this country together. I am deeply saddened that we will never get the chance to see what an amazing leader she is.
