Americans agree that democracy requires freedom of speech. But a large minority also thinks it’s acceptable to bar certain subjects or speakers from public debate.
That really fits my experience on social media - If you have wrong opinion, you need to be silenced, especially when it comes to cult like ideologies - socialism, communism ect.
If you come into my house party, then yes, expect some basic ground rules. If you turn out to be an asshole, or I just plain don’t like you, you’re out. Free speech goes both ways. You can stand out in the street and speak as much as you want.

Silenced how? Which “wrong” opinion did you express? And to which crowd?
