Libs usually go by the dictum that speech that offends somebody or some group has to be censored. Not only will some people's feelings be hurt, the "offensive" speech MIGHT!!! eventually cause physical harm.
In short, you have a small group of people who set themselves up as judge and jury who think it just and proper to illegally censor the speech i.e. rights of others.
This is what is has happened in Europe and Canada. Petty fascists have had people thrown in jail for making "offensive" comments. And of course, libs would like to see it done here. Thrown in jail for "offending" a particular favored group(s).
In my opinion, we miss the point completely when we say that what is going on is a few libs with their feelings hurt who try to silence others. It is far, far larger. The useful idiots are the college kids who have been taught to act offended (even when they aren’t). The idea is simply part of a worldwide leftist movement (put whatever label on it you like) to silence everyone who disagrees with the totalitarian left and to give an absolute monopoly of speech on the almighty state. That is the ultimate goal. The students, the speech codes, the newspaper “style manuals” etc. are just stalking horses for the real goal—total control. This is going on everywhere in the world, in a very coordinated way.
