Want to see the direct consequences of unfettered hate masquerading as free speech? That would be Elon Musk, Nigel Farage et al spreading utterly incorrect rumours about migrants in the UK and goading right-wingers to set fire to hotels where migrant families are staying. Luckily no one was killed but do you think tutting and calling them idiots before you move on is going to change a thing?
Arrest them for their actions that were violent. You should worry more about how we can educate those so easily manipulated by fake information rather than trying to police language. History has shown repeatedly the tides can change and America has no intentions of having someone assume power and decide what “truth” they want to enforce and imprison those speaking “lies”. A 2nd trump presidency could easily result in the establishment of a truth police that arrests anyone speaking ill of him or his family.
Spreading deliberate lies with the intent of harming people is illegal across the civilized world. It’s only in America that we decided that terrorizing people is free speech. Leave your frozen peaches stateside, buttercup, because the rest of the world has no problem holding you accountable for what you say.
It’s wild the freedoms Americans have “the rest of the world” bitches and moans about. I think Obama was the best president in my lifetime and when I see sister fuckers say shit about him and Michelle, you know what I do? Laugh at how stupid they are and move on. The same thing the Obamas themselves do. Persecuting words that have no tangible impact on someone other than hurt feelings is weak, thin skinned, and swings the doors open wide for abuse. I can imagine 100 different ways a 2nd term trump could weaponize what you’re calling for and I prefer to be free to call him every name under the sun without fear of persecution. Im grateful to live somewhere where we have freedom of speech.
Well okay then! Fuck it, consequence free speech all around! I can’t believe it took you, a convicted child rapist with a bum leg and glass eye, to convince me. ^/s ^obviously
You want to see people arrested for saying things. How about you just settle on calling them idiots and moving on?

It’s not an ‘either/or’ situation - both sets of people are culpable.
