@alvarombedoya @blue24fox Trump is horrible. But what other illiberal responses would you not criticize? Is physical assault ok? Why/not?

@emptywheel It’s not obvious to me why anyone is stipulating that Trump was denied venue at UIC. -
@emptywheel Friends and friends-of-friends went: it’s a huge space, and no party/candidate affiliation was checked. Open access. Unusual! -
@emptywheel An audience full of people boo-ing you is not the same thing as an attempt to suppress speech, right? -
@tqbf@emptywheel Well, sure it is if you're preventing the people who want to hear him from hearing him. -
@normative If someone between age of 12 and 70 in this country can't find a way to access Trump's ideas I'd really like to meet them.@tqbf -
@emptywheel@tqbf This is a gross rationalization and beneath you. -
@normative Trump went directly from choosing to cancel his talk to TV. Really hard to say he was silenced.@tqbf -
@emptywheel@tqbf Absolutely in this case. He silenced himself. But in general, shouting down speakers so they can't be heard is ugly. - 5 more replies
