I might get downvoted to hell for this but if we silence fascists then isn't it just a slippery slope to fascism? Unless people explicitly threaten people then most things should be fair game.
I mean I'm all for being against fascists but this should be more a social thing. Sure I hate Trump flags but it's not reasonable to put all Trump supporters in jail
I would settle for putting all of the Trump supporters that are breaking the law to be put in jail. As of right now, that's not happening.

So you agree there are things that should be silenced.
Isn't silencing calls to violence also a slippery slope?

How is this a short history of liberalism? Historically, the liberal nations beat the fascist ones.
If this is in reference to Trump, then that's an ongoing fight. Judges are generally doing what they can to stop his actions, even those appointed by Trump, to his chagrin. Given his rapid dip in popularity and historical trends, I would also expect Republicans to fare worse in Congress in the mid term election, meaning we can expect more pushback there too. Maybe even proper impeachment, but that might be too much to hope for right now. But I view it as a sign that the liberal system is working that he keeps running into checks and balances issues.

Depends on what you call silencing. To me, it looks like the tolerance paradox.
We can't be tolerant of intolerant people (fascists fall in that category).

By that logic, banning people from listing false ingredients on medicines is a slippery slope to totalitarian censorship.

The paradox of tolerance in a society that is "liberal" re: what speech is allowed.

Violence is a founding principle of fascism. You can't establish a dictatorship without violence. The ideology is an explicit threat.

I almost considered joining BlueSky when I heard they banned JD Vance... then they didn't

For example: InfoWars and Turning Point and Fox and OAN engage in NON-STOP HYPERBOLIC STOCHASTIC TERRORISM as does trump himself. Liberals defend their free speech while crushing mine for saying they have to be stopped through invoking the 2A. They have done ACTUAL harm and violence and liberals are STILL defending their rights to expand their violence. This was exactly how the Ruwandan genocide happened.
