There are centrists and even conservatives out there in the world who have valid perspectives and values but who are not Trumpers.

Not much. British Muslims spent the last 10 months attacking British Jews and calling for a genocide of the Jewish people in Israel, burning Union Jacks, calling for 'death to the West', and so on and so on.

I'm not saying they should be subject to similar attacks themselves, but I'm not going to march in their defence.

They could have done that after October 7th, and they chose to celebrate the death of Jews. So I'm simply not going to march with them at all. Let's see what happens.

Our cities are literally on fire and literally anyone is pretending to give a shit about this virtue-signalling shite?

You: We're just telling him we disagree with his political views!

Also you:

Do I have to use milkshake or can I use something more… permanent?

Do you make a habit of going around making threats of violence against public political figures?

Oh no, not "saying hurtful things"! How terrible! However will we cope with people "saying hurtful things"?

When the conservatives talk about freedom of speech they mean the freedom to say what they want and for everyone else to have to just take it.

Uh, yes. Conservatives have a right to their values and views, they have a right to express them, and you have no right to prevent them or to threaten them with violence for doing so.

Funnily enough, everyone has a right to free speech, not just people you agree with.

let them do and say whatever they want

Yes. That's how it works in a democracy.

We don't silence people through violence just because we disagree with them.

So all conservatives are legitimate targets of violence, in your view?
