The Racist MAGA right: "What is hate speech?"
Me: abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or similar grounds.
MAGA: So id I advocate for banning abortion and forcing by the power of the state for a woman to go through 9 months of pregnancy no matter how painful it is, is that hate speech?
Me: Yes; because it's abusive speech towards women.
MAGA: What if I advocate cutting taxes?
Me: Yes; because it means you have to cut government spending on schools that have disproportionally poor black and Hispanic kids in them (or a similarly essential program).
MAGA: What if I say there are only 2 genders?
Me: Yes; that's hate speech because it's transphobic.
MAGA: Well, is there any speech that we disagree on that is NOT hate speech?
Me: No. All conservative speech is hate speech; I just can't say that because I want to appeal to normies. But it's the truth.
