    And you’re actually using Tucker Carlson as your example?..do you not understand that calling everyone else who obviously isnt fascist is a classic fascist tactic?

    Yes. That is exactly what I’m trying to say. Let’s say a fascist comes to power. They call everyone else fascists.

    Now they use the rules you just created to shut down speech that isn’t fascist.

    You keep ignoring this or failing to understand. Prompting me to believe you are likely a bot.

        Ok, so you would put half of the GOP in prison? Good luck with that. I also want a million bucks and a harem of curly hair dark girls.

        It’s only a matter of time before the GOP wins another presidency. It’s probably going to happen next year.

        What then? Do you trust Trump with the ability to define what is and isn’t valid speech?

        ^^ please answer this don’t ignore it for the 4th time

            Ok, so you admit you don’t trust Trump with the ability to define what is and isn’t valid speech. So now we have a contradiction here.

            Either a) the government CAN define what is and isn’t valid speech or b) the people deserve freedom of speech

            You can only pick one. Can’t just say “no freedom of speech but nobody bad will ever take power in a democracy”

            Because you know what happens in democracies? Eventually bad people come to power. It’s always happened. In Rome. In Athens. In Germany.

                Bad people come to power because good people REFUSE to acknowlege evil when it is in front of them. Good people actually think they can redewm evil by being nice to it.

                You don’t understand what happens in these countries. It’s fear and instability. Someone comes along and offers a problem to fix it. Don’t worry, you lost all your jobs because of China and the immigrants. I will fix it. Build a wall. etc

                It only works because people are scared and insecure. You fix that, you fix the fascists. Nothing else will fix the fascists. Literally, you can do everything in the world. Won’t go away.

                this is life under socialism!

                do i look like i have a don’t tread on me tattooed on my forehead? I believe we need to have mass government actions in order to provide housing, healthcare, college, internet, power, water, etc. I think all of those things should be free. I’m not a free market capitalist

                I just can see further than the front of my nose and realize that banning speech is asking for a one-way ticket to 1984

                  How do we fix the insecurities of alt right white supremacists who spend their free time getting off on antagonizing people for the sake of upsetting someone?

                  Some of them even want someone to try and fix them so they can use that for their own personal entertainment.

                    It’s not those men you really need to fix. It’s the people who initially voted for Trump. Rust belt, blue collar, white anerican, etc.

                    These people had essentially been abandoned and Trump took them up as their hero.

                    If the economy was booming in the Rust belt, they would have never gotten Trump elected in the first place.
