For decades, reactionary extremists pretended to be "free speech absolutists," but this was always a lie.
The latest proof of this is how the Trump administration is trying to ban private scientists from using basic words that it thinks encourage leftism, horribly politically correct words like:
barrier
Gulf of Mexico
black
female
mental health
women
gender
This is the most sweeping censorship operation in US history, carried out by supposed "free speech" people https://archive.ph/Bxd91
