Exactly. People have the right to protest, but they're protesting against the country itself.
This is actually the very reason for protected speech. You are halfway to clarifying that what bothers you isn't an erosion of freedom of speech, but the fact that views you don't agree with aren't marginalized enough. I usually try to avoid bringing up shit from casual threads in political/serious discussions, but I think here it's relevant. We were going back and forth in that other thread and in defending a conservative elderly poster, you said making fun of senior citizens just isn't something you do. But literally one post before that, you made fun of a different elderly poster because he was liberal. In that same thread, you said that the older poster sounded like a decent, older conservative. You were defending him because he called another user's parents to tattle because he didn't like the other user's posts. Surely, you have to look at the topic here and see the irony. I get that you were probably going for a certain level of humor with those posts, so I'm not referencing that as some amazing gotcha moment. My point here is that it's the way of the right- create as many glaring blindspots as possible and do everything possible not to question them. The user in question paints himself as a staunch, stoic conservative in opposition to mentally ill liberal babies, but he literally tattle tales on other members who post things he doesn't like. Your posts defending him in that thread were just minutes apart from your post criticizing imaginary censorship. It's just like bob's response. Once you're determined to see something one way, everything is going to support it and nothing can dispute. Anything thing that contradicts is unimportant or not part of the bigger picture or just a joke or not even what we're talking about.
