Liberals enjoy pretty much unfettered free speech; conservatives not so much.
Conservatives are far more tolerant of others’ point of view; liberals not so much.
Liberals are more than willing to squash views that don’t align with the party’s rather than engage in intelligent discourse; conservatives are more inclined to listen.
In my experience most conservatives approach topics logically; most liberals react emotionally.
Conservatives understand that free speech is vital to knowing what others are thinking. Without free speech, we couldn’t even imagine how insane the left has become.
Um no Playa, you’re part of the movement to install Marxist operatives in government to destroy the supposedly systemically racist system you’re profited under yet you squawk about holding you down. I sincerely doubt an unintelligent, uninformed person such as yourself could hold a public office of your stature anywhere else in the world.
Free Speech is one of the most important parts of being a American.
This is what makes this country great.
Democrats actively seek to cancel free speech which they don’t like.
