Under the current regime it will be used to suppress discussion of all things LGBTQ+, particularly transgender identity and healthcare, women's rights and healthcare including abortion, Black history, indigenous history, Israel's genocide of Palestinians, immigration, police abuses, and so on.
This is absolutely the worst time for such a bill, so of course it has a better chance of succeeding than ever before.

I feel before the late 60s would also be a time this bill would pass pretty easily. Ppl really need to recognize this brand of fascism is nothing new in west. Historically it's pretty damn normal
There is never an appropriate time for a bill that limits, curbs, controls, restricts, or obstructs freedom of expression. Remember, if an action or expression does not infringe upon someone else's rights, then any limitation on it - particularly by the state - is a grossly unethical violation of their natural human rights.
But your freedom of expression restricts my freedom of oppression.
