Which Party Is Better at Protecting Free Speech?

Alas, neither party is very good at protecting this fundamental First Amendment right. Two recent Real Clear Politics poll questions show that too many voters in both parties want to shut down the speech of the other. But Democrats are much more Stalinistic:

Poll respondents read this statement: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Democrats were a disaster

      • Only 31% of Democratic voters “strongly agreed.”

Republicans were shaky

      • Only 51% of Republicans “strongly agreed”

Here’s another one.

Does government have a responsibility to limit “hateful” social media posts:

      • 75% of Democrats say yes
      • 50% of Republicans say yet

We’ve got a lot of work to do as a country to protect First Amendment rights.
