A new study conducted by Public Religion Research Institute has revealed some unsurprising findings about the Party of Tolerance: Democrats are more likely than Republicans to block or unfriend those they disagree with politically on social media, with Democratic women leading the pack as most likely to block political foes.
The study, which reviewed over 1,000 respondents’ answers, found that “13% of the public say they blocked, unfriended, or stopped following someone on social media because of what they posted about politics.”
Democratic women were found to be the most block-happy, with 30 percent of female Democrats admitting to blocking or unfriending those with differing political views; while male Democrats came a close second with 14 percent.
Republicans overall were far less likely to censor the views surrounding them: Less than one in ten Republicans engaged in blocking or unfriending on social media over politics, with Republican women slightly more inclined to block than their male counterparts at 10 percent and 8 percent respectively.
Again, this is wholly unsurprising. The Democrat Party has become increasingly intolerant, most notably on college campuses and “protest” spaces. In recent years, leftists have called for “safe spaces,” the censorship of so-called “hate speech” and have violently “protested” the democratic election of Republican Donald Trump and speakers with whom they disagree with, such as Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro.
Censorship is the name of the game in Leftist Land.
