I think the fact that you characterize this as "far-left" is problematic. Authoritarianism and censorship are independent of left or right leaning politics, and have existed on all sides of the political spectrum in the past. See censorship in Stalin's communism (left) vs. censorship in Nazi Germany (right).

It's a far left issue because the people on the right are constitution freaks that love guns, god and saying whatever the fuck they want consequences be damned.

Let’s be frank here, the people on the right are constitution freaks for people who look _like them_. They aren’t freaks about the spirit of the constitution, only one that maintains their (white) supremacy.

Yes, lets be frank.
I believe the Constitution is color blind. The words, "All men are created equal...", did not specify a race. The problem the right has the how the left tells them how to think.
This is where progressives go wrong. Stop telling people how they should think.

That's a problem on both sides. Conservatives are judgmental AF about a lot of things.
Frankly, I doubt the two sides are ever going to come to proper terms, and the best solution is just to give power back to the states. Then you can have libtard Portland and klan Mississippi, and people who don't like it can just move.
