The desire to restrict freedom of speech is a very concerning trend, but there are much more important issues than the culture war. Most of the political process is a charade to keep us distracted from the real issues. If you look at the Democratic debates for example it resembles an episode of Jerry Springer or a soap opera more than an intellectual conversation.

I think Trump was elected because he claimed to be against the status quo and said he would clear the corruption out of DC. I believed at the time (and now am quite sure) that he was just controlled opposition. If you look past the impeachment farce and Russiagate congress is quite willing to pass his enormous military budgets and any other legislation that propagates the empire.
