Poll: 71% of Americans Say Political Correctness Has Silenced Discussions Society Needs to Have, 58% Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share
The Cato 2017 Free Speech and Tolerance Survey, a new national poll of 2,300 U.S. adults, finds that 71% Americans believe that political correctness has silenced important discussions our society needs to have. The consequences are personal—58% of Americans believe the political climate prevents them from sharing their own political beliefs.

Marxist silence opposing points of view. Right out of the playbook. Enjoy your utopia.

I didn't silence anyone.

Not sure what Marxism has to do with anything. I guess when in doubt, wing a Marxism allegation at somebody.

But yeah, Cato has a point of view. You might even say it has a bias. And we all know how much Republicans hate political bias.

Are you saying you don't believe the polls?

Are you a science denier?

Not all polls are scientific.

And the questions in a poll can be worded in a way that makes it likely to achieve a particular result.

I'd recommend sticking with unbiased pollsters if you want a more accurate reflection of reality, especially if you're vociferously opposed to sources with a political bias.

Must have missed the memo on shutting up, I care not a whit if what I say hurts someones poor little feelings. Not my problem but theirs if what I say is true, sometimes the dang truth hurts. Plus the good thing is I have no real need to work so if they get butt hurt or cave to some twatter calling them they can pound sand too.

Conservative: People feel silenced

Liberal: There's no proof of that

Conservative: Here's a survey using sound statistical principles

Liberal: Studies with data are bogus
