Twitter has morphed into a speaking engagement at some UC college in which their idea of “free speech” involves either a) shouting down the speaker or b) having said speaking engagement cancelled.

It’s been like that for a while now. A lot of people have lost perspective and don’t have a grounding influence. They can’t tell the difference between a neo-Nazi making youtube videos in a trailer, an expansionist dictator with a nuclear arsenal and a fictional TV personality.
