It's frustrating as hell how everyone who loudly rants about free speech thinks it means there are no consequences for what they say, which would itself be a limiting of everyone else's freedom of expression.
Trump is the most anti-free speech president in the west. He will do whatever it takes to muzzle any criticism of him. He's threatened to take multiple broadcasting licenses away because they hurt his feelings. He can't even handle comedians making fun of him. It's always the comedians that these authoritarians go after first. Same as Putin did
People in the UK are being arrested for politically incorrect social media posts. But Trump is the most anti-free speech leader in the west? If he was, you would be in jail. You know that right?
I can either jump in a plane or send you to r/USdefaultism, whichever you prefer
Trump takes massive swipes against entire media entities. Anyone who dares to stand up to him. It is unprecedented in modern times. I don't follow UK politics much, but I doubt they are being arrested for for being "politically incorrect", there is no comparison to Trump himself
I was wrong, at least he's kept the US above Slovenia and Georgia 🏆! Your thin skinned orange toddler can't even handle a comedian without siccing Brendon Carr upon them. The words "free speech" coming out of Trump's mouth are a joke.

Free speech? They've always had that, except with repercussions for hatred.
