In a year when everyone's lives have been turned upside down, when families are divided by a virus, when incomes are lost and schools are closed and when one political party divides a nation by calling its candidate "president elect" when the election has yet to be decided, those who voice opinions that oppose the "agenda" and current media narratives are targeted, attacked, beat up and persecuted.
