Letter: War On Censorship | Letters to the Editor – Yankton Daily Press

Thank God for Donald Trumps war on censorship.

Go to any Trump rally and youll not only hear Christians roaring approvingly when Trump uses obscenities that are unprintable in this newspaper, but you will also see Christians young and old wearing T-shirts that say things like F--- Joe Biden. Back in the day, you could see Hillary Is A Bihct T-shirts on little Christian tykes roaming about Trump gatherings, but with the operative word spelled correctly. I actually saw a baby in a onesie recently with F--- Biden on it, but again with all the necessary letters to sufficiently offend tender hearts. I cant confirm the infants religious preference, but she was white and professing hatred for Joe Biden, so she was either a right-wing Christian or a QAnon disciple, the line between which has become as nonexistent as reality at a Trump rally.

I never expected Christians to rail against censoring obscenity so openly, but Christian children sporting F--- Biden apparel makes it more acceptable, as pervasive use of profanity dilutes its power to offend. The F--- Biden flags and yard signs commonly seen in South Dakota may not be my preferred political message, but Im all for it if it means defeating the faux-Puritan censorship so pervasive in America.

With Trumps assistance, all manner of obscenity may soon be accepted as banal in the Press & Dakotan. We may even stop targeting bans on a certain caliber of books when obscenity loses its firepower.
