His reaction didn't just fall out of the sky, one does not interact with somebody in good faith and then get a reaction like that immediately. That is the response of somebody who's sick and tired of liberals. > I hope society never succumbs to their desires and normalizes denigrating speech This is already happened, you can denigrate conservatives or anybody to the right of you easily, look at all the histrionics surrounding Trump. People are saying he's hitler UNIRONICALLY. We've blown by your line in the sand a long time ago.

> People are saying he's hitler UNIRONICALLY Like the Tea Party people from a few years ago claiming that Obama was Hitler "unironically" and that Obamacare was a "Nazi program"? {edit} I'm curious why you didn't see things like this: http://www.wataugawatch.net/uploaded_images/Tea-party-2-712911.jpg http://www.wataugawatch.net/uploaded_images/Tea-party-2-7129... as "going way past the line?"

      Right - but I don't think anybody took that seriously. Even the tea partiers saying it most likely only meant it as a 'Obama is a very bad guy and the worst name we can call him is Hitler'. On the other hand the many liberal journalists prognosticating Trump to become a totalitarian like Hitler really meant it (for example see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/28/this-new-york-times-review-of-a-hitler-book-sure-looked-like-a-thinly-veiled-trump-hitler-comparison/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/28/th...)
