Again, you can tell me till you're blue in the face that "debate of ideas, argument, and discussion", or "having you own opinion on an issue, that isn't popular or that offends" are some how equal to inciting violence, or threatening physical assault... but I won't accept it. Ever.
People are not buying this.. they are rejecting it soundly because accepting this premise gives tacit approval to regulate speech, something American culture will never accept, or should never accept in my opinion.
Liberals are willingly accepting this in many places, such as college campuses for example, where it seems harder and harder to avoid the safe space mandate to follow approved groupthink.
I'm not talking about banning free association for those groups that most desire the safe spaces. I'm saying.. those groups, or anyone shouldn't be allowed to deem the entire University (or other shared space) their private safe space and bar others from exercising their rights to free speech and free association.
If the left doubles down with this nonsense, they will push people further away.
