Something with that much momentum won't die overnight, and even if it trends downward, he's going to do a ton of societal damage along the way.

"Let people I don't agree with speak" !== "Societal damage"

If the people I "disagree with" are dehumanizing others, yes. Words have meanings. They're not spoken into a vacuum

I feel like this post dehumanized me because you disagree with me.

Therefore, it's ok to censor your speech that I disagree with right?

What about the long list of politicians who actively and loudly proclaim that Republicans are racist. That's pretty dehumanizing. Censor them too, right?

See how the word "dehumanizing" can be stretched to fit any speech I disagree with?

This is how authoritarian censorship works. By manipulating language.
