In 2023, SCOTUS considered whether independent artists offering their services for hire must agree to produce “acceptable” art for gay marriages upon request, bc of civil rights laws. All 3 libs voted for subordinating the 1st amendment to “non-discrimination” laws. They hate 1A.
If Hillary had won, SCOTUS would’ve upheld this literally incredible (as in almost nobody believes me when I tell them about it) assault on free speech, & gone farther. The key reason we still have any semblance of free speech rights is thanks to Donald Trump. Crush the left now!
Free speech caselaw is one of the most misunderstood pillars of mainstream propaganda. Citizens United is hated for giving RW nonprofits the rights to produce & screen political movies. Workplaces can’t allow un-PC jokes under CRA. But strip clubs etc are now protected from regs!
When the left says it supports “free speech,” it means the rights of degenerate lifestyles & progressive apparatchiks to state support, by restraining the superior from political power over them; the hard right (correctly) understands the 1st amendment as about empowering agentic
Just think how much disinfo you’ve been fed by lefties about Citizens United: they make it sound like da big business corporations were behind it man, but it was a nonprofit advocacy group for making political speech & its rights were upheld on *anti* corporate personhood grounds
They think “free speech” means govt protecting underhanded grasping by herds against anyone who seeks power, & protecting their weaknesses from judgments; that’s why they think it’s fine to murder us for expressing political views—rather than just lifestyles—ie for seeking power.
Free speech was originally—explicitly—a right of parliament: of successful elites to debate what & how to impose upon herd & tradition; of the visionary to plot (without even allowing the press in pre-1803 to witness debates), not of cowardly low mobs to bray & hoot for consensus
