    The trend to censor & silence rather than inform, listen and/or persuade is (in my opinion) damaging to what we're supposed to be about...

        When you cannot support your ideology with substantive case, silencing the opposition is always the go-to move. Not original.

        Only facts that back a news outlets narrative are being reported, not actual facts.

        Because the Left can't tolerate dissent, and they can't win debates on facts.

        Shutting down non-Marxist speech was the avowed objective of Herbert Marcuse, "Father of the American Left". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marcuse …

        It happens on both sides, but seems to be most acute with the left. Persuading your point of view seems lost. Need debate class in schools!

        Perhaps part of the problem is neither side has any new ideas. Tax and spend/tax cuts. Nothing new and the same people selling it.

        All authoritarian bureaucracies must silence opposition and command resources to itself. We are living in the American version of the GDR.

        You and a few others perhaps should unite in a voice for truth. False narratives have overwhelmed the media world.

        52 years ago "Father of the American Left" advocated "the withdrawal of toleration of [non-Marxist] speech", and now he's won. #Marcuse

        agree 100%. Let them speak, then make your opinion/decisions known, but let the person speak.

        In the 70s the college I attended mandated a course called Rhetoric In A Modern Mode.In 2017 it's easier to silence than to think creatively

        I thought freedom of speech ended when disruption prevents speaker from speaking. Demonstrations..ok. 100% disruption NO! Why not prosecute?
