Can we just ban him, please?
You liberals sure don't like it when someone has an opinion that is not yours....
We're not the ones backing a presidential candidate who wants to curb freedom of expression. But nice try.
The Democrats are far more a threat to Free Speech nowadays than the GOP.
It wasn't always that way. It is now.
Hate speech is not defensible, nor should it necessarily be protected under the definition of "free speech." Democrats (not even most) only seek to prohibit the utterance of words that would further reinforce hatred, dehumanization, racism, and phobic attitudes, which endanger not only the emotional, but often even the physical well-being of underprivileged groups. European countries apply these restrictions because they've learned from historical precedents that what is seemingly harmless speech, can quickly transform into something worse. Freedom from the dehumanizing and intimidating effects of certain expressions of free speech is a privilege enjoyed by the heterosexual, White male population - not the majority of Americans; thus, why they are the overwhelming majority of people who support nearly unregulated freedom of speech. And also the reason why Republicans are now its most ardent defenders.
Yeah... you know white, heterosexual males can be subject to all sorts of hateful and dehumanising applications of free speech, whether they relate to their family background, physical appearance, manner of speaking etc, many of which can also do rather unpleasant emotional, or even physical (hell, think of the socially awkward kid who gets beaten up in school) consequences. Yet, no one calls for the banning of these uses of free speech, because it would be unenforceable and frankly counerproductive.
