In case you haven’t noticed, the Left plays by a different set of rules that — if analyzed logically — would reveal a deep strain of hypocrisy. For example, according to the liberal playbook, inclusiveness and diversity are two of the nation’s greatest strengths. But that applies only to non-whites. Excluding white people — for that matter, physically attacking them and calling them names — are both permissible, if not downright laudable, liberal behaviors.

Another tenet of acceptable left-leaning behavior is to deny the current president of the United States credit for any of his positive achievements and to make it a virtual crime to approve of him or his work. If a person does, liberals are within their rights to dismiss him as a cult member and/or a white supremacist.

The most recent example of this dual-edged morality comes from social media giant Facebook, which in its infinite fair-mindedness has censored a meme celebrating First Lady Melania Trump as Lady MAGA on the grounds that it constitutes hate speech.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Here’s the meme:

And here’s Faecbook’s ruling on the meme:

I’m still confused as to what, exactly, makes this rise to the level of “hate speech.” Not that I’m surprised given that Facebook has previously said that a prayer for the protection of children is “hate speech,” as are portions of the Declaration of Independence.

Since the 2016 election, Facebook, along with other members of what I like to call the “Silicon Valley Axis of Evil,” have bent over backwards to stifle and censor conservative or pro-Trump content.
