Free Speech is not identity politics. Free speech covers a gay person's right to speech & the right for abortion supporters to speak their mind. Free speech also covers the speech of people on the political right (& left). Free speech is a fundamental American value.

Not the same thing. Free speech is about freedom. The Identity Politics that we see today is about Autocracy.
