I still don’t understand how so many people equate the party that supports free speech with the Nazis, and equate the party that wants to disarm the poor with the freedom fighters.
Yeah, right, “free speech,” unless you write a book with two guys kissing, then it must be banned from schools. Or tear up a photo on TV. Or protest wars in the Middle East. Or kneel during the national anthem. They are all for Cancel Culture and silencing people who speak out against them and their ideas.
The only time conservatives actually get up in arms about “free speech,” which they don’t actually know what it even is, is when they get banned on Twitter for spewing lies and hate. So get out of here with your “supports free speech” nonsense.
Cancel culture has nothing to do with free speech. One is people deciding not to support a company. The other is the government threatening to steal more of a companies money if that company doesn’t silence a person.
To be devils advocate here. It still does not impeach on free speech. You are still capable of sharing your ideas to others. The only reason they leave it as an exception is because they believe it to be sexual in nature, as most republicans just assume the homosexuality is always sexual. Is it a bad take. Yes. However I wouldn’t want my children being handed novels of straight people having sex either. The point against republicans is that the presence homosexual relationships, does not necessitate sexual behavior. It is not free speech that is the issue with their opinion. I will note that there are some better examples were some republicans have been anti free speech (cough bud light…). I think it has less to do with republicanism, and more about our political system as a whole. I see both sides just get mad about whatever is “against” them. I have seen both sides to do evil and ignore there own values temporarily (I think someone coined a term for this kind of thing, I think it was “double think”?). I think it is important to encourage people to think, and to not let their political candidates define them, like it’s a football game or a dystopian novel.
Definitely curious how the party actively working to ban books and prevent people from expressing themselves artistically in public is supporting free speech.

You mean the party banning books? That free speech party?
Banning books is very different to removing them from the school curriculum. I’m sure you know that though
When you say banning books, do you mean removing them from a public school library?
Don’t forget local town/city libraries!
You mean in the kids section? I couldnt find any references to the adults section having books removed in the public libraries.

Im not sure what you mean by prevent people from expressing themselves artistically in public. I’m happy to be enlightened.

Removing a book with graphic illustrations of blowjobs from a high school library is about as sensible as you can get.
So a teenager can engage in sex, but can’t read about it? Do I have that correct?
Minors can’t consent.
Good propoganda and PR campaigns.
Don’t worry, the grownups understand.
