liberal mindset is: "control the narrative". Freedom of speech was one of the major principals on which the US was founded. Astonishingly there is a very strong force (liberals) doing all they can to stop any opinions or views that differ from their liberal views.
I don't have any problem with expressing an opinion. Example: government should be smaller, taxes should be lower, people should be stupider.
I do have a problem with misinformation. Example: The California wild fires were started by secret Jewish space lasers. 5G causes covid! The sound of windmills causes cancer. The microchips are in the vaccine! Covid isn't real. The earth is flat. The moon landings were faked. Trump won the 2020 election by a landslide!
There is a difference between the two.

You know, we could talk about those subjects.
The problem is that the crazy people talk about the truly crazy items I described -- AND THEY ARE VOTED INTO OFFICE!
That is what sucks all the oxygen out of the room so that other subjects cannot be disgust.
