Also, you said, "I believe in what I choose to believe in."
I DO believe that is your choice. I do not want to censor you. If you study the left at all, you should become quite aware that they CENSOR free speech and free thought and try to CONTROL people. Hence, people against the liberal agenda were silenced online, through their employers, etc. essentially being "cancelled" with the new cancel culture. There is a lot involved and you might not understand it all but since you 'side with people', you would have way more freedom siding w/ folks on the right.
