back

Society goes back and forth on what is considered 'right' and 'wrong'. You only need to look at older movies to see how things change.

What was once considered neutral or even progressive is now considered racist/sexist/etc. Watch 'Dumbo', 'Animal House', 'Blazing Saddles', etc. None of those would be filmed today. Yet we still have not cured many of the ills that plagued society in both times.

The left must relent and let conservative voices be heard. In the long run, it will be destructive to the left if they do not.

Sorry, I left two points disconnected:

If you are on the left side of the aisle and are not disturbed by this modern day McCarthyism because you are absolutely certain you are 'right', you need to review what was 'right' in past days and realize it is all relative and will change. Persist in smothering free speech and you'll end up as tomorrow's Nazi.

Conservatives have the legislative and executive branches of government. How much more of a voice do you need to feel “heard” exactly?
