>>Because democracy and critical individual rights do not rely on being able to get cake from a particular person or company?

>Free speech doesn't work like this, money counts as free speech. Your idealism about democracy is irrelevant - courts have ruled MANY times that speech is more much than just words.

Let me put it another way. If you want to pay someone to say something for you, your free speech rights don't have precedence over their right to free speech. Your desire to want to pay someone to do work does not surpass their religious convictions to not do it. My "idealism" is really pragmatism.

>Incorrect, conservatives don't realize that even if they say reasonable things but then follow it up with a slur then they just undid what they said.

Have you read anything that liberals put out? It's some of the most profane stuff out there. They overused profanity to the point that it doesn't have any punch anymore, while *choosing* to get butthurt about all kinds of other harmless words so they can get clout.

>People "censor" conservative opinions because conservatives don't know how to say their opinion in a pleasant way.

That is definitely not true. I've seen so much censorship of even the most mundane things, you can't sell me this story. Twitter was plenty unpleasant before Elon bought it. It was just leftist-leaning to an extreme and the only people who got to talk were in agreement with whatever unpleasantness was allowed there. Now that they can see a tiny bit of the real spectrum of popular opinion, they're crying about it.

>It's hard to take conservatives seriously on anything because they seem unable to speak above the level of an average middle school boy.

As with any crowd, there are smart ones and dumb ones. Don't get me started on the dumb liberals. The smart conservatives are speaking on a level exactly the same as their liberal counterparts.

>Talk like Trump at work. Go ahead and try.

If I was a billionaire like him and all my friends turned on me, I might do just that. He is actually a very nice guy and was popular in all circles before he ran for President. What changed about him? Absolutely nothing.

>He talks about women like they're dogs, he treats minorities like scum.

He talks about some women like they're dogs, because they stabbed him in the back. All of the outrage about Trump was way overblown. A celebrity known for a sharp sense of humor insulted someone he doesn't like, that must mean he's irredeemably against their demographic group! Meanwhile half the world has been calling him a Nazi or a Russian infiltrator for years with zero evidence, even after he got shot.

Many minorities are conservatives and love Trump's policies and sense of humor. He was on Oprah and she asked him if he would consider running for president. Whoopi Goldberg used to be friends with him, and Hillary said he couldn't be bought (although that is contested, she was definitely a friend of his). He did a lot for criminal justice reform and supported HBCUs during his first term. He had a black girlfriend before his current wife and she (like Stormy Daniels) said nothing negative about him until she was pressured into lying. You're not going to convince me he's a deranged racist because I know better than that. He is not against any minority, but he's not accepting lies about his own race either. This is a bit old but it's a list of 17 black celebrities that supported Trump in 2020: https://www.essence.com/celebrity/black-donald-trump-support...

>This would disproportionately censor conservatives, for the reasons above. Trump sure as hell isn't making it past "safe search".

You're wrong about this, although I don't know what kind of Puritan-grade filter you're thinking of. Liberals swear just as much as conservatives.

I'm probably done with this conversation because it's too much work to convince one person they're wrong. You're just going to have to look into things on your own. I don't expect that you will, but you'll feel a lot better if you do seek out some real context. It's not easy because the media has been smearing him for years now, but I am hopeful that the facts will become apparent soon to all the mentally ill who are freaking out about him.
