Exactly. But they are handicapped because they give in to childish temper tantrums and emotional reactions instead of logic.

Hypocrisy at its finest. The tolerant and inclusive left being intolerant and non-inclusive.

Where are our noted moderates on this? Will they be in this thread waxing poetic about democratic norms and the dangers of authoritarianism?

A complete and utter lack of self awareness is the touchstone of a marxist democrat. I could manufacture a long list of just the celebrity leftists who have spoken openly about killing Trump, but you, sir, are a waste of time and energy.

Depends who that public figure is.

Trump had had death threat type postings for years, there’s no huge rush to prosecute those people.

A wheelchair dependent man ranted on social media about Biden, they gunned him down.

J6 people have text messages and social media used against them in court. Rioters attacking a federal building nightly in Portland have all charges dropped, no texts or social media posts used against them.

The justice system isn’t equal. If you can’t acknowledge that, you’re either obtuse or stupid.

Pretty wild to hear a VP candidate say there is no right to free speech around our democracy. If there is no right to free speech, then you do not have a democracy.

Imagine saying this and then calling your political opponent a threat to democracy.

Governor Tim Walz: NO RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH if the government decides it is misinformation or hateful

The First Amendment protects all speech. That includes "hate" speech and "misinformation".

If he wants to call out misinformation and disinformation, he need look no farther than ABXi, NBXi, XiBS, MSDNC, XiNN, Faux News, NYT, NPR, WaPo, etc.. Funny that those ^^^ entities actually have an extra layer of speech protection, while they lie and mislead more than anyone.

I wonder if he would like our Supreme Court to chime in on whether his statement is misinformation

No one thinks they are the bad guy but I’m sure he’d not like a conservative branch making those calls about him, as an example

Rush said it best, liberals cannot compete in the arena of ideas, that is why they result to these types of tactics. Ultimately is all about power and nothing more.

The Dem VP candidate ladies and gentlemen.

I guess he should get some credit for so openly showing outright disdain for the Constitution

That's the way the left wants it. It's part and parcel of their ideological DNA.

He’s precisely incorrect in that the government decides. Private corporations and entities can do so within reason but the government absolutely cannot declare something dangerous speech unless it is blatant. They really want another 6-3 decision eh?
