Pretty much wash, rinse, repeat on a constant basis from lefties.

Anything else you wish to have served up for you?

Oh damn... that seems pretty snarky! Is this where I need to start clutching my pearls and accusing you of snark? That's what we do here, correct?

Anyway... thanks for serving up those examples, bro. However, I had already pointed out that I was aware of instances where people voiced concerns over Elon's potential ownership of Twitter. What I had asked about was some information on the idea that liberals IN GENERAL were freaking out over free speech on Twitter. OO seems to make generalizations about the left as it relates to this issue.

*edit* Probably this is a pointless discussion. It's just sort of annoying to hear "The left is up in arms over X, Y, or Z" when some people go on news shows or post on twitter. It's like if somebody when on Fox News and demanded reparations. You could certainly find some twitter posts supporting this as well. Does this mean that "THE LEFT is demanding reparations!"?

No, it would mean that pretty much the only people demanding reparations were on the left, and pretty much the only people supporting reparations were on the left, and the people demanding proof that leftists were demanding and supporting reparations were on the left.

Nobody on the right is worried at all about Musk buying Twitter. That only leaves...guess who? The Russians again?

OK... nobody on the left is a featured speaker at white supremacist conferences. That only leaves... guess who?

Does that mean "people on the right love to engage with white supremacists"?

However many on the the left are actually racist. So nice try at painting with the 'racist' brush.

LOL... painting with a brush. The point of the post that I quoted was about avoiding generalizing the entire "right" and "left".

Anyway... like I said... probably a pointless topic. I'm sorry I brought it up.
