1. Trump has openly stated that he wanted people who burn the flag to go to jail for a year, he has strengthened libel laws, and he sued Bill Maher over a joke. Not exactly the guardian of speech.

2. Freedom of religion also comes hand and hand with Freedom FROM religion, something Republicans aren't very good at supporting with their constant efforts to introduce religion in schools and stuff.

3. Trump has repeatedly denounced and denigrated the media, calling any network that disagreed with him "fake news" and the "enemy of the people." And as I already said before, he supports strengthening libel laws.

4. Trump's response to BLM literally refutes this entire point. I mean FFS he literally gassed peaceful protests in Lafayette Square.

In conclusion, the president, the congressmen, and the congresswomen that YOU vehemently support attack the very "foundations of democracy" that you cite. So the first person who should do some introspection on their commitment to democratic values should be you.

Oh you are outraged that anyone would not want the flag burned aren’t you?

Libel laws are open to redefine Orion like everything else aren’t they? Libel isn’t free speech. Did he win the suit against Bill Maher? Bet he didn’t.

You portray it as wanting to insert religion into public schools and then demand that Muslim students be given a place to pray. Hypocrites

The president is a citizen and can call them what he thinks they are. They truly are the enemy of the people when they interfere and try and influence an election rather than investigate and report in a fair and balanced manner. This has proven not to be the case. They have no credibility anymore they have been proven liars and infavorable information squashers.

Tear gas is commonly used to break up unruly crowds. It was a riot, it was declared such and they failed to follow duly directed instructions to disperse. Aren’t you for law and order now?

In closing you support the attacks on free speech, religion, A free press, and now you no longer support the right of assembly unless it’s an assembly of looters who want to riot. Censorship is anathema to free speech. The left use to crow about and they were right. Now they support and scream for it. This is not the Democratic Party of freedom. That’s why I left it. You betray everything the democrats stood for. You claim anti racism and support racist policies. Your president elect said he will illegally base Covid relief on racial qualifications. Oregon illegally gave out business loans based solely on the color of the applicants skin. That’s racism and You promote and support it.

1. I mean, yeah, as a free speech advocate, I think the government shouldn't infringe on someone's right to burn the flag. You claim to be a free speech advocate too. Do you support someone's right to burn the flag, which is protected speech?

2. Libel laws necessarily restrict free speech.

3. It doesn't matter that Trump lost his suit against Bill Maher. The fact that he attempted it tells you that he isn't actually committed to protecting free speech.

4. How are the two mutually exclusive? If a Muslim students wants to pray, they have a right to do so, as long as it's not distracting, just like how Christian students can pray as well. If the school mandates prayers, that's where I have a problem.

5. So you don't care about press freedom. Got it!

6. Except the incident at Lafayette Square was a peaceful protest, and Trump tear gassed them anyway. As for law and order, I believe Trump should be held completely accountable for the quashing of peaceful protests :)

1) sure it’s protected right to burn the flag. I don’t have to like it. I can use my free speech to denounce you. Your free speech doesn’t protect you from my free speech.

2) no libel jaws protect us from false accusations, which are not free speech

3) i don’t know the case but if he sued him for libel and slander that is not free speech. To win he has to prove he made malicious and untrue statements. That’s a remedy provided for in the law

4) I don’t support prayer mandates for anyone, anywhere. Inalso do not support exceptions for every religion except Christianity. I do support the pledge of allegiance.

5) lol press freedom? You mean Like censoring 100 year old news organizations and not reporting opposing views or de platforming free speech arenas because they have opposition following. Ya it’s been shown that there was more Captitol incident stuff on Facebook and you tube than parler. Why only attack Parler. You have no room to speak about a free press.

6) Rioting should have been put down with the same prejudice we saw at the capital. Watching you guys backflip now is hilarious.

Tell me. What are your opinions on Islam?

What has that got to do with American freedom? Islam as a religion is one of many openly practiced in the free country that is America. Well it was before the leftist crackdown on worship using the Covid excuse.

I have seen many of your comrades say Islam should be illegalized before stressing how important the first amendment is.

And fine, if you want to go worship in public in the middle of a pandemic, go ahead. I think we will all be happy to see an asshole and a Trump worshipper be erased from the gene pool
