Was there ever a "golden age of free speech" in the United States?

Asked by Demosthenes (14945points) March 14th, 2021

By “free speech”, I’m speaking of the principle and not just the First Amendment to the Constitution.

With all the talk of “cancel culture” and people being fired over Tweets, was there ever a time when we were maximally free to say what we want? When was it? When could you express almost any political opinion and know it wouldn’t affect your employment or social standing?
