    Wait, I thought this party was about trying to legalize comedy again. Because no one was allowed to laugh prior to Taco being back in office.

    What happened?

        Fascists don’t believe in the meaning of words.

        They are free to play in bad faith, while libs waste time and energy debating their bad faith arguments; exactly what the bad faith actor wanted.

          Exactly.

          Words are nothing but weapons to them, tactics to distract, demoralize, dogwhistle, whatever.

          You do not speak to a fascist with words.

          You speak to them with a fucking baseball bat.

          … not like they would ever do any good with a working jaw anyway.

      It’s only about Nazi free speech. They’ll pretend we all need to allow their free speech, no matter how hateful, because, “free speech”.

      But they don’t have any intent of YOU having free speech.

      That’s the paradox of tolerance that Popper talked about…

    It’s almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.

    Higgins, who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on federal law enforcement, argued restrictions are not censorship but a defense of constitutional order. “The reasonable restriction of public statements that lie far beyond the standards of our own society is not an oppression of free speech. It is, rather, the protection of free speech,” he claimed.

    Insert 1984 slogan here.

    *edit: glad he’s dead.
