Loved the post @mudcat36 I agree. Sadly it's either fight to have your voice heard or someone gets butt hurt over a raised voice (smh) A downvote because you don't support what someone is saying is idiocy. Downvote abuse and misuse not expression.

I go caught up in the downvoting ring due to following @steemcleaners. How lame that was. I thought I would be safe expressing my opinions, but I don't think anywhere is safe anymore. People have become too judgemental and totalitarian it honestly make me sick.

I just got done watching the first 2 seasons of A Handmaid's Tale. Sadly I see this happening. It deals with the totalitarian ideals and how quickly it took over, relatively unnoticed until it was too late.
