I think similar thoughts toward those who harbor these opinions about Creationists.

40% of Americans are Creationists. If they were all as you say, these things would happen to all of us all day, every day. But they don’t because most Creationists are capable of nuanced thinking and don’t stereotype everyone who disagrees with them.

I grew up in a religious sect that believed this. I was a young earth Creationist but never bought into the 6-7,000 year age of earth variety. That seemed obviously forced to me. I didn’t think the genealogies proved much of anything because they aren’t internally consistent . I also believed in evolution, just not as a theory of origin.

That said, even as someone who could accept a 20,000 year age of earth, I never felt the need to interrupt others in public. I recognized it wasn't going to convince anyone and was just a dick move. I think most Creationists also view these people as weird assholes.

This is varies a lot by country.

I reckon part of the problem is that verbs are conjugating. Nouns are declined.

Alkohol macht die Deutsche Bahn erträglich. Ich bin Amerikaner, aber ich glaube, viele Deutsche würden mir zustimmen. Wenn man spät in Köln ankommt und zwei Stunden auf den nächsten Zug warten muss, machen ein paar Bier das Warten leichter.

This is exactly what it is for so many. Some take it further: you made us hurt, now it’s your turn to hurt. These ones know Trump is a conman but they want everyone who moved to a suburb somewhere to pay for what’s happened to rural areas.

I have experience in this. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled on it. If it’s open comment time, they cannot censor except for obscene or threatening speech. All they can do is set a time limit. Don’t cuss or make violent threats and you’re good. If they censor you it’s an open and shut civil rights case.

If it’s a public hearing for a specific matter, they can restrict comment to that topic.

A city council in the U.S. does not have to allow a general public comment time. Perhaps there are some states where it is required.

They can also allow public comment only as part of a hearing on a specific matter. Most states require this.

HOWEVER, if they allow an open public comment they cannot censor it.
