The Executive Branch is run by a Republican.
The Legislative Branch has a majority of Republicans.
The Judicial Branch is about split.

If free speech is quashed, whose speech do you think they're going to silence? The conservatives or the liberals?

The liberals are the ones claiming, every day, that a dozen new words are "racist."

That's exactly my point. If free speech was killed today, it's the liberals' speech that would suffer the most.

Some guy online saying your rhetoric is racist isn't an attack on your freedom of speech.

The closest thing to an attack on freedom of speech that we've had this couple of months is Trump calling legitimate news "Fake news".

It does ultimately favor authoritarians to squelch free speech. But free speech also carries with it the freedom to associate. No one is obligated to keep you in the same room as someone that is screeching obscenities at you.

Which words were claimed yesterday (9/2), which ones were claimed the day before (9/1), which ones were claimed Thursday (8/31)?
