Tyranny has come draped in slogans of liberation and fascism has come to America wrapped in a protest sign and a cause. Democrat politicians and the media claim that their radical mobs are protected by the First Amendment while the opposition’s rallies are a “threat to democracy”. Their speech is sacrosanct social justice while opposing speech is dangerous “misinformation”.
The First Amendment wasn’t needed to protect the speech already favored by elites. And yet, if liberals and leftists had their way, it’s the only speech that it would protect. The former censors of Facebook and Twitter insist that rioting mobs burning communities are “mostly peaceful” but that speech they don’t like is “violence”. Now, in the face of violent riots, they claim that their violence is speech and that the First Amendment entitles them to shut down church services.
