Unfortunately they've made great progress over the last couple of generations in controlling, punishing and intimidating speech. Americans from coast to coast are now afraid they may utter the wrong thing at the wrong moment to the wrong person. That may never get fixed.
Gawd almighty, all that sobbing ... "from coast to coast" ... and a continent-size victim card on top of that.
Freedom of speech always came with responsibility for content, and exercising it always meant to live with the consequences, such as reproach, rebuke, or even dismissal and ridicule.
You know, how about you get over your five seconds of terrible, horrible oppression? Maybe if you did, you need no longer surf the same fauxrage wave day after day. Wouldn't that be splendid?
For pity's sake....
