This should not surprise anyone. Historically, “progressives” have always believed that only they should have a voice in the public square, on the grounds that anyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong but evil into the bargain. And there has never been an authoritarian government, of any kind, that did not seek to stifle dissent.

That includes those who are authoritarian on the grounds that they are the ones who do it for The Greater Good Of All. (With themselves defining the “greater good”, of course.)

As Alan Dershowitz once defined it, progressives believe in the “principle” of “Free speech for me, but not for thee.”
