“EXCLUSIVE: Babylon Bee Sues California Over Unprecedented Crackdown On Satire, Parody”
When you read a headline as in the above, two things should come to mind:
1. Has there EVER been a similar attempt by Conservatives to shut down speech that made fun of them?
2. If not, then just which side is the ‘threat to Democracy’?
Now whether you would consider John Adams to be a "conservative" ... I dunno, although I would probably consider him to be more conservative than his opponent Mr. Jefferson.
Note that, when I was a pup, the anti-free speech provisions of the Alien & Sedition Acts were held up as an example of a law that is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. (In point of fact, it was repealed before the courts got around to ruling on it.)
