"I believe in freedom of speech. You don't?"
I would challenge you on that cheesy, because I think it's easily provable that you do not truly believe in freedom of speech as a core value. Disabling comments... yes, that's the tactic the left uses to promote freedom of speech, the free exchange of ideas without fear of being cancelled or worse.
With some experience and hopefully wisdom, you'll realize that the democrat party isn't actually aligned with your beliefs. They'll lie to you and tell you that they are. Meanwhile most of what they do flies in the face of those beliefs.
I'd suggest you read 'The Twitter Files' by very liberal journalist Matt Taibbi for all the details you should already know about how dems love to suppress freedom of speech. And I didn't put quotes around journalist, because unlike most media today, and I fear media you trust, he is an actual journalist. He cares about the truth, whether some would categorize it as left or right. The truth is the truth, and Taibbi not only knows it, he lives it professionally.
When I was young, say 19 to my late 20's, I thought the dem party was more in line with my beliefs than the republicans. I'm still not convinced about the republicans, but I know 100% that the democrats aren't. They lied to me for so many years, and then, thanks to Trump, they were and are still being exposed for the hypocrites that they are. Those values you have... they're core to what MAGA believes and you can tell because they walk the walk. Dems only talk the talk.
We don't have to look any further back than what the Biden administration tried to do to the right (republicans, conservatives, even libertarians and certainly MAGA) to suppress free speech in social media, legacy media, actually any media. Certainly that included covid. Maybe you were young enough to not care, but during covid anyone simply saying something like,' let's talk about your position that kids need the covid vaccine...' would be cancelled fast, or worse, doxxed, etc.
And for goodness sake, their claim to "follow the science" was 100% antithetical to the core of what the scientific method is, which is skepticism, free exchange of ideas, research, etc. What they were pushing back then was blind faith in their version of the truth, which was intended to only give them more power. I don't; buy that bullshit from anyone, and that includes not buying it from MAGA.
