Yeah the whole 230 discussions is at best naive and at worst a cynical attack on 1A rights by no nothing dead enders and authoritarian leftists. The same coalition that brought you the drug war, the satanic panic, and the global war on terror.


Uh, both the War on Drugs and War on Terror were started by Republican presidents (Satanic Panic is a little harder to unravel), with broad support (at the time, anyway) on both sides of the aisle. If you're going to spout nonsense, at least pick examples consistent with your nonsense.


The current president was both the author of the notorious crime bill and the precursor to the patriot act. He did this in alliance with lawmakers from the nominally opposing party.


I just want to point out that the person you're responding to did not refer to this coalition they're describing as belonging to any political party.
