Description

One of the principal characteristics of an authentic liberal democracy has been to hold possibilities in check through the free and unrestricted access to ideas, differences of opinion, and values that accommodate a wide variety of perspectives and ways of life. It must, therefore, be of some concern when government-prescribed social norms are expressed in a reactive, 'pendular swing,' complete with social marginalization of people adhering to previous social norms.

Should this current trend continue, we might be witnessing the emergence of a new form of fundamentalism: a liberal one, intolerant of legitimate, non-violent expression of difference of opinion and action, and which ought to expect equal toleration. The question becomes, 'Is this a new form of fascism, albeit physically non-violent?'
