>>6964528Disallowing free exchange of ideas is antithetical to democracy, because the foundation of democracy is free and fair elections. If you have a group of people and want to unite them on an idea, then the problem comes about when people disagree with those ideas. What do you do with them? You suppress them. Elections can't free if you can't speak freely.
There's a word for forms of government that suppress the speech of dissidents, and that word is not "democracy".
