Look at what we saw with trump. Trump never personally hurt a minority group, but he spoke ill of Asians, LGBTQ, POCs, anyone who didn’t speak English as their first language. We watched hate crimes against all of them spike. The fool speaking may be too stupid or too popular to ever risk themselves acting on what they believe, but they idiots who follow them with a lot less to lose will gladly do it.

Thats why no matter who speaks like this, as a culture, we need to hold them and that speech accountable. Too many examples in history how “free speech” has evolved into real world war and conflicts.
