Quote: Americans also don't on what speech can be defined as hateful as opposed to a political opinion , Cato found.
1. 59% of liberals say it’s hate speech to say transgender people have a mental disorder; only 17% of conservatives agree.
2. 39% of conservatives believe it’s hate speech to say the police are racist; only 17% of liberals agree.
3. 80% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say illegal immigrants should be deported; only 36% of conservatives agree.
4. 87% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say women shouldn’t fight in military combat roles, while 47% of conservatives agree.
5. 90% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say homosexuality is a sin, while 47% of conservatives agree.
