Just read: "Unfettered free speech led to the rise of fascism in America."
I can see how folks got there. But. This is inaccurate.
Unfettered free speech would be a better situation than what we actually experienced. What we actually experienced was the police & courts consistently preferring & protecting the speech of fascists over everyone else's... for decades.
Anyone who has been to a nazi protest in the USA has seen lines of riot cops protecting them. Not every fringe group gets that.
