    Deporting people (in many cases citizens) for protesting a war. Freest country on earth, etc.

    Freedom of speach or something like that. Who knows, the supreme Court has shown me a few times that I have no understanding of what is constitutional.

      That’s an easy answer: Money.

      Money is speech therefore more money is more speech. And since it’s a democracy, more speech equals more power and the right to choose. Therefore SCOTUS has determined and upheld that money is the only deciding factor in this country.

      To be fair, Amy Comey Barret forgot the freedom to protest when they asked her a softball question about the first amendment.

    Damn, it sure would suck if Trump did the same thing Biden is doing right now.

        I sincerely doubt that account is a US citizen, so they probably don’t really give a fuck.

        I have very good memory. I remember people in the streets to end the immigrant concentration camps and police brutality, I remember fury at Trump’s trade war with China, I remember Trump talking about getting rid of Roe v Wade.

        And then I remember all that same shit getting worse under Biden while the libs went back to brunch.

        I can also remember having the same experience when Obama continued and expanded Bush’s wars, spying, and bailouts for wallstreet, and somehow libs were telling me these things were either good or electorally smart (turns out no, triangulation doesn’t peel off moderate republicans, it just makes people stay home).

        This is the horseshit that gave us Trump in the first place, and the dems are deadset on doing it again.
