According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech.
That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.”
Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly?
Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control.
Fools, all.
Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.

Well of course they do. Objectionable speech means not accepting and praising their defects, bad habits, various forms of mental illness, depravity, greed and laziness.

Liberals wan to silence anyone who disagrees. I would think there would be a higher percentage.
But anyway, since there are only about 100 people who voted for him. it is of no consequence.

When leftists put their hands over their ears, while muttering, "La la la la, I can't hear you!," while TRUTH is being spoken, the natural result is for the same people to want, yea, demand for TRUTH speech to be regulated, or eliminated entirely. Democrats swallow their "Delusion Pill" every day, without objection.

The view that the first amendment should be restricted is objectionable and discriminatory.

Well I suppose you could include the Judge in the Trump trial in DC.
It isn't at all surprising to see that Biden voters are against free speech, the 2nd. Amendment , and using oil to grow food and get it delivered by truck.
They are "woke" morons, who believe we can control the climate with solar panels and windmills.

Meanwhile, they all went ballistic when Elon Musk, in a sense, “regulated” their speech on X by not banning conservative speech.

Actually, they would prefer no speech at all. "Just shut up and listen" would be (and may be!) law if they have their way.

These people had no civic education, and no idea what America was and is about. Government schools utterly failed them. Essentially, they're totalitarians. Now we've got to defend ourselves against them. Tragic.

Don’t know where this info came from, but to liberals, the truth hurts, and they would rather lie and repeat the lie enough times until it’s believed.

Too bad we can't restrict their speech for 6 months, and see if they feel the same way!

Post-modernism cannot triumph in a world where people are free to laugh at its rejection of objective reality.

OK, get their names and put them on the "no free speech list". The rest of us will use the First Amendment and have free speech.

It is actually not that general. The intention is to limit your speech.

It's far worse than that #11.
Most actually have no education at all. They can't read, they can't write and they can't do 'rithmetic' !
Critical thinking, analysis, etc is FAR beyond most of them. They have been taught very little of anything practical or useful.
Makes one wonder, as I have occasionally, what in the he** HAVE they been doing, 5 to 7 hours a day, 5 days a week for TWELVE YEARS ?? Being indoctrinated maybe ??
I've never been an optimist, more like a realist devolving into a pessimist but unless there is some drastic
steps taken and drastic changes made SOON, we're finished.
I heard and agreed with something Donald Trump recently said, paraphrased -
2024 is the last chance, America will either start back to again being the greatest nation ever or it will
simply, no longer exist !!!
Depressing I know, but true,

Remember when leftists were all about free speech? When and why did that change?
Maybe the answer is: Free speech was only a means to an end for them. When they got their free speech, made their arguments, and failed to win over the American people, and when in fact the speech from their opponents seemed too successful, they switched to the repression of speech, because the end was never freedom.

I imagine the fellow who first wrote this piece for the Daily Caller - Jason Cohen - would like to wring Utter's neck.

Simple: Commiecrats do not want to hear anything that disproves their world view. Watch them engage with conservatives on campuses and town halls. Self-righteous and haughty, sometimes walking out.

Yeah, half of them want Biden to 'Regulate Speech'........
The other half want to be able to regulate everyone's speech themselves.

Probably the same type who advocated prison or worse for those refusing the shot.
