I don't try to criminalize being a conservative, but I absolutely do feel what people like Kirk are doing should be seen as criminal. Hate speech. Propaganda.

Quick response to only this particular point. In many European countries hate speech is a crime because our rebuilt democracies after World War II recognized how powerful of a tool propaganda is. Hate speech is defined as the act of inciting violence against a person or a group of people in a public space. This means that people like Kirk who run massive platforms would have found themselves in court for their actions, convicted and sentenced.

It is in Canada, too.
