idiots are claiming that it's for our own good that we not be allowed to hear things that the idiots don't like.
It's for trump's own good that he not be allowed to speak because he only embarrasses himself. And he must be protected from himself. He can't be allowed to decide if he wants to speak and we cannot be allowed to determine if we want to listen.
The world is better off according to one dope, if trump is banned.
If you believe in freedom of speech, not from the legal standpoint but in principle, you may also believe that it is UNPOPULAR speech that needs protection. Not the happy lies of the biden administration and its flunkies.
It is angry speech, passionate speech and yes hate speech that needs protection, not the silly pap and the bumper sticker lies by the socialists.
The solution to hate speech or wrong speech or misleading speech is MORE SPEECH. Make your case and let other make theirs.
But the people with the weakest argument and the biggest club will decide which speech gets to be heard and which must be banned.
For our own good...or for those in power?
Tyrants often tell people that their freedoms are being restricted for their own good.
