IMO the state of free speech and what as acceptable and how this was moderated was fine before 2016. Now certain factions are attempting to silence their opposition in the hope of winning a presidential election in November because God forbid they try and win it on actual issues that the silent majority care about.
Obviously nobody likes racism and sexism and prejudice and discrimination, that's been a thing for quite a while now. But making it the centre of your political campaign and then shaming, lecturing and threatening anyone who's not onside is not going to win any votes. That's not how hearts and minds work and politics is about winning hearts and minds.
If your argument is 'agree with me or you're a nazi' then I'm voting for the other side. Which is a shame because I don't like the other side very much.
