    I might get downvoted to hell for this but if we silence fascists then isn’t it just a slippery slope to fascism? Unless people explicitly threaten people then most things should be fair game.

    I mean I’m all for being against fascists but this should be more a social thing. Sure I hate Trump flags but it’s not reasonable to put all Trump supporters in jail

      By that logic, banning people from listing false ingredients on medicines is a slippery slope to totalitarian censorship.

      For example: InfoWars and Turning Point and Fox and OAN engage in NON-STOP HYPERBOLIC STOCHASTIC TERRORISM as does trump himself. Liberals defend their free speech while crushing mine for saying they have to be stopped through invoking the 2A. They have done ACTUAL harm and violence and liberals are STILL defending their rights to expand their violence. This was exactly how the Ruwandan genocide happened.

      Violence is a founding principle of fascism. You can’t establish a dictatorship without violence. The ideology is an explicit threat.

      I would settle for putting all of the Trump supporters that are breaking the law to be put in jail. As of right now, that’s not happening.

      So you agree there are things that should be silenced.

      Isn’t silencing calls to violence also a slippery slope?
