Freedom of speech comes with great responsibility. It should not be extended to the hate often promoted by political extremists of ALL types. We have already seen the effects of extreme left wing politics in Stalin's Russia and extreme right wing politics in Hitler's Germany as well as in a lot of other situations across the globe. If we allow the type of rhetoric that brought these situations about to go unchecked the results will be the same. It is only a madman who believes that if you keep performing the same actions eventually a different outcome will be achieved.

The difficulty is to know when and how to prevent it. I am not clever enough to come up with a solution but I can see that Trump's style has already crossed several boundaries. Nothing to do with being liberal in either the political or social sense. People from the entire political and social spectrum have said the same. When he crosses that final border to ensure he cannot be removed from office it will be too late.

Maybe having one man in control of the world will be good for me. I am a white, male heterosexual. I would still feel pity for those that do not belong in his club though.
