The left is for free speech?

Like trying to get Limbaugh off the air for decades?

Keeping conservatives from speaking at colleges?

Obama wanting monitors in newsrooms?

Biden admin trying to establish a government Ministry of Truth?

Twittter and Facebook censorship?

7. The GOP is using our Bill of Rights to destroy democracy.

Particularly the first and second amendments are creating a violent, chaotic society.

Autocrats do this to justify a power grab.

That stupid Bill of Rights thingy.

We can't "steal" what you never advocated for in the first place. And as for the demonization of the word 'liberal' (which I make a point of not using to describe todays democrats), you did that yourselves.
