That is exactly it. It's also why I'm thoroughly opposed to hate speech laws and am aghast that there are still people talking about wanting them in the U.S. Republicans control everything! They'd say it was "hate speech" to talk about birth control.

But we live in a country where the "liberal" (pfft) media is clutching its pearls over having detente with North Korea, and Democrats introduced a bill to prevent us from stopping war games on the North Korean border. South Koreans want peace? So what? Russia has a tiny border with North Korea zomg must continue dangerous and terrible imperialistic policy. Under a dangerous and terrible authoritarian president. Because that makes sense.
