Michelle takes note of the latest spasm of book banning from the right and advises the left that it needs the First Amendment, notwithstanding the current qualms of the woke. Without a legal commitment to free speech, censorship operates in favor of the powerful, and that usually means the right, not the woke.
Truer words have never been spoken.
The woke warriors would probably respond by saying that they don’t use the power of the state to control speech; they simply mob heretics on the internet. Is that a meaningful difference? For right-leaning victims, it probably is; they have their own safe spaces on the internet, and they don’t care about criticism from the left. For those of us on the center-left, no. We are the real victims of woke censorship, not the right.
