Left: Trump will do anything to overturn the election, including mobilizing angry mobs to invade the Capitol
Right: WOOOO LET'S ROLL

Right: the left considers the First Amendment a piece of toilet paper and will flush it the minute they get in power
Left: DON'T MIND IF I DO
Read the goddamn linked New York Times thinkpiece, a parade of so-called academic legal "scholars" arguing that free speech is an outmoded concept in this unique modern age of icky people saying bad things
