"Democracy dies in darkness! Now here's why we, your ruling journalist class, must limit your ability to speak truths we don't like."

A beautiful two paragraphs. Within them lies the ideas that

a) multiculturalism is incompatible with liberty

b) you hate your own kind; you'd never listen to an Evangelical making this argument about the Bible, and

c) social media—democratic speech—must be suppressed by elites

This is a naked argument against liberalism, which literally all your arguments for "gay rights," "racial equity," "feminism," and so forth are founded on, but DO go on about how now that you've fully captured liberalism, it's now become a disaster for "democracy"

This is a truly bizarre segment. The argument is, very straightforwardly, that the average democratic citizen is too stupid and uninformed to properly assess information.

Therefore, they need to be ruled by... journalists? The priests capable of handing down the received wisdom?

No comment.

"Let the debate begin: people's ability to discuss differences between groups undermines our obvious delusions that all groups are the same, therefore your right to debate must be stripped from you."

"Also we love states' rights when it's a tool to enforce our values lol"

"Where we cannot control your minds, and what your lying eyes can see, we must pass laws that enable us to control your minds, and send you to jail for speaking them. That's what the First Amendment, and America, is really all about."
