Are you serious? Literally right now is the exact reason free speech means neo-nazis should be allowed to spread their message of hate. Someone who supports and is allied with these very neo-nazis and white supremacists is now the head of the United States government.

The reason we have been tolerating neo-nazis for so long is that we've established a principle called free speech, and we've developed a legal theory and a society where Trump cannot use his power to turn the tables and ban discussion of things he finds objectionable: perhaps he'd like to institute a ban on discussing racial justice because he finds it "hateful" and divisive? Perhaps he (or someone in his administration) would like to ban the hateful, hateful folks who advocate legalizing what he would call the murder of unborn children?

Now is the exact moment you should be on your knees thanking all of those assholes who defended the freedom of speech of the neo nazis of every time period against governments who acted with the best intentions, trying to stop hate. Because the hateful ones are now the ones who get to decide what 'hateful' means.

Your post is not grounded in either fact or logic. Tell me, for example, of US government attempts to suppress neo-nazi speech.I'm only aware of one case from the 1970s where the State government of Illinois objected but was out-argued by the ACLU. The case is summarized at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_Am...

As for Trump, $10 says you're in for a big surprise.
