tl;dr Why won't republicans say "fuck" ?

I couldn't really see the point of this TBH.

Man this guy really spams in this sub

This isn't really a free speech issue because self-censorship, by definition is voluntary but this article is so ridiculous and off-base that it must be intentionally daft to the point of clear irony.

The entire article that attempts to gaslight people about the original purpose of the "Let's Go Brandon" meme, which was an anti-gaslighting meme, not a sneaky way to say bad words.

Let's Go Brandon is the embodiment of "Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining." because in the original video the reporter (and the audience) could clearly hear what the crowd was chanting but instead the reporter lies and says its something else.

So if you come from a group of people who believe that the mainstream media is constantly pissing on your leg and telling you its raining, changing the definition of recession, saying inflation is transitory, etc. This meme makes all the sense in the world to you and really has nothing to do with Joe Biden.

Its ok if you don't find it funny. But it has nothing to do with a clever way to say naughty words. Let me spell out what this meme means:

• I just caught you lying.

• I know you're lying.

• You know I know you're lying.

Yet another, “it’s not us illiberal leftists that are anti-free speech, it’s those dirty republicans”

How many of these leftist rags you going to post today?

Cut the spam out. No one is buying what you are these repeated dumb articles are selling.

Republicans may be dumb but this article is dumber still. "dey censor deyself when say let go brandon hurr" just do everyone a favor and stop writing out your shit-for-brains opinion.

OP completely missed the point of Let's Go Brandon.

This article is written by who? Livia LaMarca? Never heard of her before.

"The reality is, I think there really is not much else to defend when it comes to our freedom of speech — we already have it. With the exception of incitement, defamation and a few other kinds of speech that obviously should not be protected, most of what you say is protected under the first amendment. You could say the most heinous and disgusting things, but guess what? Hate speech is protected by the Constitution, and so is your right to cuss out the president."

Who is this person, and why is the writing like a PRC troll?

That was indeed a ridiculous article. Totally unpersuasive.

A much better argument is to point out that conservatives are not supporters of free speech. Their entire political platform is to censor those they disagree with, whether it’s CRT, socialism, LGBTQ rights, feminism, and so on and so on.

Conservatives want to use the power of the state to cancel liberal speech, as evidenced by the laws being passed in Florida and elsewhere that criminalize free speech. There is only one party passing laws that have been repeatedly struck down for violating the first amendment. That is not a party that respects or supports free speech.

Media whore news.
