The answer to bad speech is more speech. If you refuse to do that then you are not convinced of being right -- you lose the argument when you resort to violence or justify resorting to violence over speech.
- dgb23 1y agoThat’s a strawman. They didn’t say the answer is violence, but that calling someone a threat to democracy can be justified.
