The End of Free Speech

The Democrats may be right. Because of social media, it may be that free speech has become too dangerous to be allowed. If somebody with a lot of followers says that the election was stolen, or all white people are racist, it can lead directly to violent unrest. If climate change is a real existential threat, then climate denialism threatens life on earth. If Donald Trump is Hitler then supporting him will bring about a second holocaust.

Expressing political opinions on twitter and facebook has so divided the nation that we may be close to the point where the two sides can no longer live with each other. Perhaps all speech other than expressions of loyalty to the government and love for all men and women, as well as all of the multitudinous other genders, should be banned.
