@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. -
@normative Ugly. Normatively frowned on. For those who have no other way of being heard, also an important part of free speech.@tqbf -
@emptywheel@tqbf What otherwise unheard message is expressed by shouting someone down? "We think Trump is racist?" -
@normative@tqbf That people of color will not be silenced by bigotry? Will not be cowed? -
@emptywheel@tqbf If that "message" can only be expressed by shouting someone else down it doesn't deserve to be heard. -
@normative Are you making a normative comment? Do you then also buy off on all of Trump's norms?@tqbf
