If you believe in the 1st Amendment only when it's convenient and the 2nd not at all, this hardly surprises me. Alas, I feel the same, but for opposite reasons. Still, all but the most radical boomers are better in this regard than the average millennial. At least you want to limit the first amendment for safety reasons, rather than for reasons of fighting "micro-aggressions" and putting bans on "offensive behavior".

40% of them explicitly believe the government has the right to censor free speech if deemed "hateful" (who by, they don't specify). Keep in mind there are less credible sources which report figures much, much higher than this, but I'm erring on the side of understatement. We should also consider that, using Strauss and Howe definitions, these numbers will likely be even higher (today's 19 to 20 somethings are far more critical of free speech than today's 35-40yo).
