Spoken like a true white man. Can't they both be "real dangers"?
Today, I'll ask on behalf of the family of Elijah McClain. You know, the young man who died for being "suspicious" while Black.

Yeah, not actually suspected of any crime makes it even sadder.
NPR said he resisted, but also that the cop’s body cams all fell off.
Also “fuller go easy on the Pepsi” and “take me Garth” are awesome
"The liberal of the 1960s and 70s were all about: Freedom, free speech, anti war, anti government. Today the opposite is true."

The liberals of the 1960s and 70s were against racism. That seems tough for you to grasp, but that was actually true.

Sea and I were both there. we weren't anti-government, we were opposed to some government policies. Anti-government was the John Birch Society better known as the current Republican party.

This isn't the same democratic party that existed back then. This isn't the same republican party either. Both are extremely screwed up. Democrats are now leading the country in trying to censor free speech. They want people fired for disagreeing with them. They want more government as they believe that will solve all the problems (it won't). They believe in fairy tales such as systemic racism. Etc, etc.
I don't always agree with Tucker, but he hit the nail on the head in this one.

Gee, people and political parties and the things that are important to them have changed over the past 50-60 years? Who would have thought?
50 years ago - No cable TV, no internet - no social media, no cell phones, no CNN or Fox News. Of course the list goes on and on and on.
I could be wrong but I feel Dems aren't trying to censor free speech as much as they are trying to censor "hate" and "stupid" speech. That's a bad thing?
Dems (and Pubs too) want people fired for "disagreeing" with them but it's more about them wanting people being fired for being assholes who have done/said shameful/horrible things. Not 100% sure if that's a good or a bad thing but I'm leaning towards it being a good thing.
I believe Dems want "more government" so much as I believe they want competent government and as you say, a government that gives a fuck and actually does something that they have to the power to do about the problems that exist in society. Again, is that a bad thing?
Then for you to say systemic racism is a "fairy tale"... That tells me you are simply - an ignorant fuck.
P.S. What did Tucker hit the nail on the head about? Seems in the video you provided he was attempting to hit several nails. Some he bent and some he missed hitting completely.
Remember, Tucker Carlson is the guy who told his viewers that that Black Lives Matters protesters are coming for them.
Be scared Lobster! Be very sacred! They're coming for you - and they are going to GET YOU!

This. I don't have a problem with those who are different. Own a gun, go to church, live on a farm, I dont fucking care. Just don't be a hate mongering asshole or assume I am that because I am different than you. I am no less a patriot for wanting our country to improve than you are for blindly supporting this vile scumbag.
And I dont want "more" government. I just want "more helpful" government. Take away the wasteful flow of gazillion of dollars to enrich corporations and the war machine and use it to help citizens instead. The balance of power is grossly tilted towards the ultra wealthy right now and Trump has made it even worse.

folks crying that dems wanna "censor free speech" sound awful similar to the folks who tried to make civil rights a "state's rights" issue. In that regards, it's the same old republican party that "existed back then."
or at least it would be, if systemic racism wasn't a fairy tale, right lobs?

I think it was that Democrat governor and congressmen and senator that said “speech is only free if you agree with me.”
Or something like that.

When they start to try to implement some kind of law about "hate speech", watch out. That works if you're the one "offended", until the day comes that you slip up and someone else points out something you said that was "offensive".
2020 really became the year that everyone started looking for anything to be offended and outraged about.
