Trump has been saying horrible things for decades now

Even said we should take away guns without due process

America doesn't care
^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

There's a crap ton of things they could take from his speeches to use against him, but the problem is actually getting people to care and not just regurgitate the same "uh, context?" talking point in response.

"...but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Says the man who incited an insurrection and whose rhetoric has inspired multiple mass shootings and death threats.
So the solution isn't to take away freedom of speech but to stop being weak snowflakes who have meltdowns when someone burns a piece of cloth.

Straight up saying "We took away freedom of speech" is one of the more direct things he says and if dems aren't all over that, I feel like they really do wanna lose

Nothing short of a policy of reasonable gun control would alienate the true MAGA.

30-50% of those arrested at anti immigration protests in the UK have convictions for domestic abuse.

Right. We've seen over and over that pointing out the horrible things Trump does and says doesn't sway his supporters. The problem isn't that they don't know about all that stuff, it's that they do know and they don't care.
"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."
I think its not lack of care -- its that nobody in control and more authority is listening to them. Every day support for policy and Trump administration falls. The tighter the control, the more loss of support for such actions

The common folk are waiting for other politicians to take action. Quite frankly, the democrats are playing it by the book and are taking receipts for later when they are in power then use them receipts to hold every member accountable to the people. This is the best case. What probably will happen is these politicians will take the receipts of what was done against americans and retroactively reinstate everything undone then pat themselves on the back for showing what they can do with party backed policy and action.

I think the president fears insurrection because his people & supporters did it. other nonsupport protests is more feared due to them not obeying his commands really. They want him out of power. So the president will rally support and use authority to pre-emptively stop protests against him.

Yeah, this is the huge issue I feel as well. More and more of the common folk are seeing what's going on, but there's little they can do about it. And the people in charge either don't care to do anything about it, or are facilitating it.

Three things.

  1. Trump didnt actually take away free speech; this is just a combination of his ignorance and pathological lying.
  2. Free speech is what lets Donnie run his mouth like this. So his own words disprove this wild claim.
  3. This will make a great sound bite for election ads.

  • I don't think hardcore MAGA actually supported free speech, as right-wing politics are traditionally antithetical to freedom of expression. This point, while I understand comes off as inflammatory shit talking on the surface level, can be supported via the historical precedent that of banning "dangerous speech" in places like school libraries and even book burning. It's simply another traditional American value that they've twisted to provoke an emotional reaction used to manipulate others.
  • MAGAs reaction to this soundbit would simply to try to paint their opponents as hypocrites. "Oh I thought the left would support this with all this chanting about freedom of speech vs freedom of consequence". We saw exactly this happening when they tried to systematically destroy the lives of anyone who dared speak about Charlie Kirk in even objective terms.

Nah. Even in countries with absolutely zero free speech, the head of state can still say whatever they want.

Maybe stop trying to run on naughty things Trump says and focus on policy? There's literally a soundbite of Trump saying he just grabs women's genitals without asking and it stopped nothing.

Democrats don't wanna talk about policy though because they are payed handsomely to do literally nothing.

Running on things they said and calling them weird was working very well until they stopped doing that

I have noticed that the "left the left" types are quite. The people who moved to the right claiming that its because the left are anti-free speech.

As usual, they were never honest about their motives. The right cries about freedom of speech so much because they really just want to be able to say racist shit as openly as you could in the 50s again. It's a microcosm for "civil war was about states rights"

Harris ran on affordable housing, better healthcare, student loan forgivness and higher min wages.

Fuck off with this lying bullshit.

this, in essence, is why I don't think MAGA cares about Trump saying this. "Free speech warriors" have a long history of being pretty fucking alright with clamping down on speech.

I know that but Dave Rubin wrote books about the left wanting to take away free speech. But I guess that Russian money is more important.

Do you get pleasure on being this full of shit, or does it actually cause you pain?

Either all nation's flags are sacred or no flags are sacred. If there's a penalty for burning ours, there should be the same penalties for burning the flag of another nation.

It's not a war crime the first time.
