As of now, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice has only one real indictment connected to what many see as the weaponization of government against Donald Trump and his allies. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted — but unlike Roger Stone, who faced a dramatic pre-dawn raid, arrest, and public “perp walk” for a similar charge — Comey hasn’t been treated the same way. That double standard says a lot.

It shows that the so-called equal justice system isn’t so equal after all. And it raises a serious concern: if this kind of selective punishment goes unchecked, what’s to stop it from happening again?

That question got me thinking — when Democrats eventually return to power, what will they do next? What’s their plan to regain control and silence those who stand in their way?

To figure that out, I tried to look at things through their eyes for a moment. What do they hate most? Who threatens their power? And what would they want to shut down first? After thinking about it for a bit, the answer hit me — and I think once you hear it, you might agree.

For years — from the early 2000s through the late 2020s — the political left completely dominated the media landscape. The major news networks, entertainment industry, and social media platforms all leaned one way. Together, they controlled the narrative and shaped public opinion.

If you were a conservative trying to get your message out during that time, it was almost impossible. Even when you managed to get airtime, you were mocked, interrupted, or put on the defensive. On social media, right-leaning accounts were suspended and “shadow-banned”. The deck was stacked in the left’s favor.

Then, everything changed in 2022.

That was the year Elon Musk bought Twitter — a platform that had openly admitted to suppressing conservative voices and posts for years. Almost overnight, he cleaned house, firing many people, and turned Twitter into “X.” His message was clear: free speech would be protected again.

The left’s reaction was immediate and furious. Coordinated ad boycotts tried to choke off his revenue. Journalists smeared him. Politicians started calling for investigations. They couldn’t stand the idea that someone had taken away one of their favorite tools for controlling what Americans would see and hear.

But it didn’t work. Musk refused to back down, and X stayed open to everyone — right, left, or center. For the first time in a long time, conservatives could speak without being silenced.

That’s why Elon Musk is now Public Enemy Number Two of the American left. Number One, of course, will always be Donald J. Trump.

Here’s the truth: Elon Musk may be the richest man in the world, but when it comes to fighting the U.S. government, money doesn’t always matter. He has great physical security, but that won’t protect him from what bureaucrats in Washington can do with a pen and a subpoena.

If the Democrats return to power — especially the progressive kind — they’ll have plenty of tools at their disposal. The Department of Justice, the IRS, the FCC, and other agencies could easily be turned into weapons for the leftist agenda. It wouldn’t be the first time.

We’ve already seen how “creative” certain prosecutors can get when going after political opponents. With thousands of pages of vague laws on the books, it wouldn’t take much for them to twist an obscure regulation or dig up a technical violation. Suddenly, Musk could find himself buried in investigations, fines, and lawsuits.

That’s the playbook. It’s not about justice. It’s about power. If you cut off their control over the flow of information, they’ll come after you with guns blazing.

Most Americans don’t realize how close we are to going back to the pre-2022 days — when one side controlled nearly every major media outlet and tech platform. That’s exactly where the Democrats want to return. They had the system working perfectly for them previously and losing that control has driven them into a panic.

Getting rid of Elon Musk would be a huge step toward restoring their monopoly. Without him, the biggest open platform for free speech would fall right back into the hands of the same people who once silenced opposing voices. Once that happens, the conversation will be closed to conservative viewpoints again- quietly, efficiently, and most likely, permanently.

This isn’t about Elon Musk the businessman. It’s about what he represents: a challenge to the establishment’s grip on information. They can’t afford to let that stand.

Whether you love Trump or hate him, whether you agree with Musk or not, this is about something much bigger than politics. It’s about the right to speak freely without fearing government control or retaliation. It’s about having access to different perspectives and sources, deciding for yourself what to believe.

When government agencies are used to punish political enemies, democracy stops being free. When the media speaks with one voice, the truth becomes whatever those in power say it is. That’s the road we were on -and it’s the road some left-leaning people desperately want to get back to.

America can’t afford to let that happen.

If we want a country where ideas compete freely — not one where speech is policed or people are punished for what they believe — then we need to defend those who stand up to the system. We need to protect open platforms like X and call out government overreach wherever it appears.

Because once free speech is gone, everything else follows.

The American future of politics may be about the deeper battle over who controls the truth. The left once had an iron grip on the national conversation. Now that grip is slipping – and they’ll do whatever it takes to get it back.

The question is: will the American people let them?
