  They literally try and ban words in schools, and this is the Governor of a state who will likely be their candidate for President in 2024. They do not give a flying fuck about “free speech”. 
  It may seem like a big circle jerk to people outside the US, at times, and that we are exaggerating at times. But the republicans no longer have a platform, it’s simply be contrarian to “the left” at all times, and sow as much chaos and anger amongst their followers as possible.
context: And the real cancel culture was the conservatives we met along the way.
  Given they scream cancel culture right before they cancel culture, what does it mean when the new conservative scream is ‘groomer?’ >
  
  It's kind of depressing as an American to watch encroaching fascism here, while people the world over are rejecting it. >
  
  Don't know where you're getting your news, but that's not true at all. 
  Fascism is ascendant in the western world. Winning parliament seats in scary numbers. >
  
  I am wondering. Whenever I talk to americans, especially right wingers, they basically claim to be pro free speech, if not free speech absolutists. And they always go with the narrative that they can't say sh*t anymore.
  So how is banning LGBTIQ+ content helping their narrative? Is this supposed to be some sort of revenge?!
