I think you have a poor grasp of the sorts of things that get shouted down these days as too controversial to question:

It’s things like progressive education policy like questioning whether ending Gifted and Talented classes, or ap classes out of “equity”, is good policy. Or ending merit based, neutral testing for rigorous schools is allowable because of the disparate impacts on acceptance.

Or whether fare evasion, no bail, allowing speeders to speed and colllect thousands of dollars of tickets but keep their license because tickets “are oppression” or the youth rehabilitation act going to age 26, or basically questioning whether revising the dc criminal code to make it more equitable is a good idea.

It seems like there is this massive movement to immediately shut down anyone dissenting from new policy. Our times are shifting incredibly rapidly and the young generation seems to not be able to countenance any dissent from progressive orthodoxy. There are rigid ideological purity tests on the left and moral absolutism abounds.

That’s not to say the right isn’t insane, with Christian nationalism and trump and what have you. However, to dismiss out of hand concerns that the left is stifling free speech is wrong. They just feel the stifle speech out of altruism.[/quote]

Well said.  Any dissent is considered "hate speech."  The left has gone off the cliffs of insanity.[/quote]

What?

Did you not see CPAC this week and what happened in Tennessee afterward?

It is not the "left" it is the REPUBLICAN PARTY OF NAZIS

I am so tired of conservatives bending this narrative

You literally are supporting Nazism with your words. Every word coming out of those speeches is from Mein Kampf spare us your utter crap.

And if you believe Alex Jones should be free to spew his garbage please enlighten those families that lost elementary school children.

Words matter. Learn the Constitution clearly you missed civics and what being an American is.
