I disagree that Democrats want dissenters silenced. I have been reading a lot of traditional and social media since last week, and have seen little or no calls for that. Almost all Democrats are saying the Rall To listen to speakers, culminating in Trump himself,s pew vicious lies about the election should be tolerated, while Trump’s call to enter the Capital and use force to interfere with transfer of power should not tolerated. Similar with Right Wing social media; every comment I have seen from Dems or liberals has drawn the line between nonsensical and hateful belly aching On the one hand, and inciting and conspiring to commit violence on the other.
I keep seeing the media wringing their hands over a supposed free speech dilemma that I don’t think exists at all here. You don’t even have to go to first year Law School for that distinction; every junior high civics teacher talks about free speech not extending to yelling fire in a crowded room, or ending at the tip of the other Guy’s nose.
