Does anyone else think that the progressives and, by extension, the Democrats will use this uproar with Ilhan Omar and the resolution that house has proposed to get their foot in the door to stifle free speech?

I feel like this would be an opportunity for them to start working in "hate speech" laws much like Canada's C16.
It's been at least a year since we've seen a major uproar from the left about free speech. Shutting down speakers like Ben Shapiro, Dinesh D'Souza aren't making the headlines like they were a year or so ago. And if I've learned anything, it's that the left loves to keep bringing up the same ol' controversy every so often just to keep the conservatives in a defensive position.

I would love to hear anyone's thoughts
