[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 76535502, member: 9588"] You completely miss the point; whatever CRT is does not matter, it is the fact that Republicans are trying to pass legislation to limit free speech when it comes to CRT. At the same time, your complaint about "limiting free speech" has nothing to do with Democrats, it is when social media companies decide to limit false information about some topics. Why is it you oppose social media companies (not the government) from curtailing discussion of topics but have no issue with the government limiting discussion of different topics? You seem to ignore your own hypocrisy here, just because you don't like what the government is censoring but dislike censoring by private companies, only in their own space, when people "like you" are not being allowed to promote things that are not true. What does this have to do with the reply that was typed out to you, much less your original post. Classic moving of the goal posts because they destroyed your claims. Which, beyond falsely making claims about "the Left," has nothing to do with the topic. Tell me, what Democratic politician has proposed a law to get rid of capitalism? The only claims of "loss of freedom" that I see claimed are things like requiring mask usage and promoting vaccination. What is odd to me, this isn't the first time Republicans have made these claims. You should have heard the screams of "freedom" when states started passing seat belt laws, helmet laws for motorcyclists, and even requiring vaccinations for school children to attend school. Now, for the most part, neither party feels these laws restrict freedom but agree these lies promote the public health. And don't get me started about how fluoridation of the water supply would risk Americans "precious bodily fluids" and turn everyone Communist. So, forgive me, after seeing these previous "freak outs" by a subset of Republicans about how are freedoms are being taken away -- they aren't. In forty years, people will look back and wonder what the fuss was all about, much as they do about seat belt laws today. What the "radical wing" of the Democrats want is more of a Western European Democracy -- something like Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, etc. currently have. There is little "socialist," and absolutely nothing Marxist or Communist about what the left wing of the Democrats want. I can understand people being against it, for various reasons, but the whole "socialist" thing is fearmongering by Republicans that largely started under Reagan (which had even less to do with anything socialist).
