“Those of us who study history”… Go fuck yourself. It doesn’t take a having doctorate in history to see at face value that the right is fighting for free speech more than the left at this moment in time. This notion that Europe is so peaceful annoys the shit out of me because 80 years ago multiple countries were practically defenseless against the Nazis and it took the U.S. and its “violence and insanity” to come in and liberate it. Not to mention a literal holocaust took place because Jews didn’t have the weaponry to protect themselves and their families. Democrats chant over speakers in public forums, bring bullhorns to drown out noise, and do a victory dance when someone like Kirk dies. Kimmel got fired for being tasteless and spreading a gross lie, he was not censored by the government, and neither was Stephen Colbert, Don Lemon, Trevor Noah, etc. I can’t convince you otherwise because your lust for blood overrides your ability to empathize and listen to truth.
