| Campaign season is quite tiresome. Political ads are everywhere. Frequent television debates. Social media outrage is non-stop. Division is everywhere. But this is democracy at work. Better to fight it out with words on Twitter than with clubs in the street. To be sure, we need more civility and tolerance in our political discourse. But the ballgame changes when the government starts compelling people to promote political beliefs they oppose. That’s not tolerance. It’s totalitarianism. And it’s exactly what one law in Ann Arbor, Michigan, produces. And that warrants our attention — no matter where we live.
