"My opponent supports sneaking a bill through that would harm you, your family, and the freedoms of true patriots by wrapping it falsely as a cure for sex trafficking, like a snake oil salesman trying to sell you sewage with perfume to cure your ills. What other things will this charlatan support?"

If you claim to support free speech, you have to support the right of others to speak things you disagree with. We have ceeded some limits (e.g. you generally cannot directly incite people to harm others) but every additional limit you allow on speech you oppose can eventually be used against speech you support.
This is the same slope argument I'm skeptical about. Nazi speech isn't something I merely disagree with. It's not a simple difference of opinion. It's not a perfectly valid alternative viewpoint we should respect. It's an ideology that caused a world war that we should never repeat. It's not something that should ever be protected.
