This is the Bizarro-world version of “No Viet Cong ever called me a n****r”
You really have to compare the scenarios side-by-side to appreciate how thoroughly Tucker is leaning into the Conservative Victimhood narrative
🙍🏾‍♂️: Hello; I am a young black man fighting for civil rights in 1968

👨‍💼: And I am a famous conservative television commentator in 2022

🙍🏾‍♂️: It seems like no matter what I do, the system is never going to give me a fair shake

👨‍💼: Tell me about it, my brother!
🙍🏾‍♂️: I am fighting to prevent America from sending me to kill people overseas while refusing to fully respect my rights as a human being

👨‍💼: And I am furious at the Democrats for calling me a racist every time they disagree with my incredibly hostile invective against immigrants
🙍🏾‍♂️: If I refuse to cooperate, I could be sent to jail

👨‍💼: And if I refuse to cooperate, the Woke Left will try cancel me!

🙍🏾‍♂️: What does that mean

👨‍💼: They’ll write letters to my network & in the worst-case scenario I’ll be suspended for two weeks

🙍🏾‍♂️: Wow; that sounds horrible
👨‍💼: So, long story short: conservatives have it very hard! Every bit as hard as civil rights protesters of the ‘60s if not more so

🙍🏾‍♂️: Uh, sure

👨‍💼: Give my best to Dr. King! He’s so much better than the rabble-rousing Communists we have leading protests today

🙍🏾‍♂️: Can I go now

For all of their performative outrage about “cancel culture,” most conservatives are indeed aware that deplatforming does not violate the First Amendment. If you own a TV network or a social-media site, you have every right to decide who has a voice & what they’re allowed to say.
So it certainly makes sense that Donald Trump would want to create a social media platform where he & his acolytes are free to propagate their ridiculous conspiracy theories in peace.

The only reason the Durham probe of the FBI exists is for conservative news outlets to report that There Is Definitely Something Going On That the Mainstream Media Won’t Report
NYPOST: Hillary accused of spying

NRO: The final Durham report will be damning

DM: Biden aide is in the hot seat

FOX: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT THIS

D: That’s because it sounds like a lot of hot air and wishful thinking

R: How can Democrats be so brainwashed
D: Trump’s son attended a meeting with Kremlin lawyers to collect dirt on HRC after they’d hacked US government servers

R: That’s been debunked

D: No it hasn’t

R: Plus, it is far less significant than our allegation that Obama and/or Clinton and/or Biden spied on Trump

I suppose we all reach the stage of life where we have to stop taking spontaneous trips to Rome because we’re hungry for pasta
DiSANTIS, FEBRUARY 3: Whoo-hoo! I’ve been interviewed by the New York Times! I can’t wait to tell my family & friends!

DiSANTIS, FEBRUARY 4: Why are there so many people with pitchforks in my front yard
GOV. DeSANTIS: And to think *I* used to be the least-popular “DeSantis” in the country

DiSANTIS: But we spell our names differently

GOV. DeSANTIS: Yeah yeah, Marie Antoinette. Listen, can you please stand a little further away?

“The solution to offensive speech is more speech, not less” is a difficult maxim to refute. But it is not without its problems, the greatest of which is that the loudest and most persistent voices invariably end up dominating the discussion regardless of empirical merit
I think some proponents of this ideology cling to a platonic ideal of the “marketplace of ideas” in which the wisdom of the masses is sufficient to separate valuable truth from deceit & chicanery.

This does not appear to be how it works in the real world.
We have similar ideals in our discussions of the economic “free market”, but when, say, Jimbo’s Mom & Pop Shop goes head-to-head with Jeff Bezos’ Half-a-Trillion-Dollar Electronic Megamall it’s not exactly going to be a fair fight

FOX NEWS: Many people are saying there are rumors & speculation from very important people who think that there’s a chance Hillary Clinton might possibly be considering maybe thinking about challenging Biden in 2024

D: How is that even a story

R: OOOOH! I HATE HILLARY CLINTON!
FOX: HILLARY CLINTON HILLARY CLINTON SHRIEEEEK

D: She’s not running for President

FOX: It’s technically possible

D: We know this is one of your many distractions to scare your audience because Joe Biden just isn’t a very frightening boogeyman

FOX: We distinctly said SHRIEEEEK
R: Well, how is that different than liberals talking about Trump

D: Because Trump is still the de facto head of the GOP & almost certainly the 2024 frontrunner

R: That’s TDS! 😂 And by the way, any Republican who criticizes him is a RINO

D: Yes, your Party has clearly moved on

When “Guilt by Association with Nazis” is an issue that somehow keeps coming up
R: I am SO SICK of liberals calling us Nazis just because actual Nazis are on our side

D: Uh…

R: What about all of the good conservative beliefs Nazis agree with

D: Like what?

R: I know they REALLY oppose trade unions & support border security

D: Keep digging
R: By the way, today’s my first day on the Internet, so I will smugly inform you that “Nazi” is short for “National Socialist” and then pretend that actually means something

D: I will now wearily explain to you why that is irrelevant political sophistry: ⬇️
