As a lifelong democratic socialist I think FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT applies to ALL groups of citizens . I do not want WOKE " liberal " Democrats- nor the always biased mainstream news media - deciding for me WHO are the HATERS and WHAT constitutes HATE SPEECH . The WOKE Democrats have displayed contempt for the FREE SPEECH ,FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization for decades now. They are the true pillars of " OUR democracy " ?
