A political survey of Democrats and Republicans found one political party
overwhelmingly supports government-approved control over what you say and do,
even when they were asked if they are willing to defend beliefs they disagree
with.

The free speech survey by RealClearPolitics, conducted September 7-8, asked
1,000 registered voters about freedom of speech, government censorship, and how
to deal with “misinformation” posted online.

A poll in which Democrats say they favor gov’t censorship and oppose free speech
is…
History repeating itself yet again
Inevitable if they trust liberal media
Like pulling back a curtain
Probably right-wing propaganda
Scary but unsurprising
Serious problem for a republic

In poll, Dems say First Amendment not intended for other side

Down in the survey, 34% percent of registered Democrats agreed Americans have
too much freedom, and 52% percent said the government should be able to censor
social media content it defines as a national security threat.

Asked for his reaction, Colorado-based talk show host Richard Randall tells AFN
he sees a large population of Americans conditioned to trust a government that
is notorious for lying to them.

“I'm looking at a poll,” he adds, “that confirms to me the influence of the
media, and the influence of politics and education.”

For its survey, RealClearPolitics surveyed a nearly-even number of Democrats
versus Republicans, 37% to 36%. The poll also included independents who
accounted for 25% of the 1,000 voters.

Independent voters, who will be wooed in next year’s presidential election,
often sided with Republicans in the poll, such as 74% of Republican voters and
61% of independents agreeing speech should be legal “under any circumstances.”

That number dropped to 53% of Democrats who agreed with the statement.

A similar question about government limiting “hateful” social media posts was
supported by a whopping 75% of Democrats, but even 50% of Republican voters –
after witnessing the COVID-19 pandemic and the Twitter files - also agreed with
that statement.

“Of course, the problem here is, what in the world is hateful content?” Randall
points out. “Is that something that you disagree with?”

A more eye-opening statement was if the voter agrees Americans have “too much
freedom,” which 34% of Democrats agreed with compared to 14% of Republicans.
Flipped around, 46% of Republicans said Americans have too little freedom which
only 22% of Democrats agreed with. Independents floated in the middle in both
questions.

Farther down in the poll, the RCP pollsters read the following statement to
registered voters: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it.” That classic defense of civil liberties was defended by
only 31% of Democrat voters and by only 51% of Republican voters.

In an online story about the free speech survey, RCP executive Carl Cannon took
readers all the way back to ancient Greece and the defense of debate and
intellectual freedom. He then reminded readers that America’s state legislatures
“codified” free speech in our country in 1791, when they ratified the Bill of
Rights in the U.S. Constitution.

Randall

Moving far ahead to 2021, 230 years later, Cannon pointed to a free speech
survey done two years ago by researchers at the University of California-San
Diego. They showed fake newspaper headlines to 1,120 people, learning through
the experiment that Democrats more often wanted to censor topics they disagreed
with. Democrats also defended new stories, no matter how outrageous the topic,
if the topic aligned with their beliefs and ideology.

“Even when Republicans agree that content is false,” the researchers wrote,
“they are half as likely as Democrats to say that the content should be removed
and more than twice as likely to consider removal as censorship.”
