The rise of fascism across the United States is partially because they've been allowed to coordinate, and are public and loud with their normalization of hate.

Free speech absolutionists quickly run up against the paradox of tolerance. And at that point you get to choose. Do you want the most tolerance society or do you want full freedom of speech?
