We in the US have hate crime laws (big mistake there). Harris would have expanded those laws to criminalize “hate speech”.

SCOTUS needs to strike down "hate crime" laws as unconstitutional.

Yep. Such laws assume that the government can read people’s minds, and ascertain exactly what they were thinking. And that doesn’t matter anyway.

It’s a Big Brother attempt to attach a “thought crime” to an actual crime.
