"Free speech is right wing; free speech has always been right wing."

'Freedom of speech, is that right wing? None of it feels right wing to me,' Dillon said during his sit-down interview with Fox News Digital
Comedian Tim Dillon pushed back on the claim that comedians have undergone a "rightward shift" in recent years and questioned why core American values, such as free speech, are being rebranded as "right-wing." In a sit-down interview with Fox News Digital, Dillon was asked about the perceived shift to the right in comedians' political views, with figures such as Joe Rogan endorsing President Donald Trump in the last election.
Dillon took issue with the observation, arguing that values comedians typically support today — such as free speech and advocating for the middle class — are not inherently right-wing. "You know, when people call it a rightward shift, my pushback to that is: were these statements rightward in 2015 or 2005? When did they become right-wing statements? When did it become a right-wing statement to say, ‘I should have the bodily autonomy to not take an experimental vaccine?’" Dillon questioned.
The comedian continued: "When did it become a right-wing statement to say, 'I don't think the United States should be in wars?' I remember these were left-wing statements. When did it become a right-wing statement to say that the United States should look after the middle class and workers instead of importing cheap labor so that the profits on Wall Street could go up? These are right-wing points? This is the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life."

"Free speech is right wing; free speech has always been right wing."
Those became right wing statements when the left wing became so enamored of government power that they could no longer give them any credence at all. It wasn’t anything conservatives did.
Free speech
Strong military
Secure borders
Strong law enforcement
Fiscal responsibility
Decentralized government
Yea…. We crazy
From a previous post...
What’s “far right”?
Patriot?
Lover of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and America?
Lover of freedom and faith?
Washington, Jefferson, and the Founders?
Hater of the Lying Left?
Good company, that. Count me in.
I’m not sure how much Republicans stand for fiscal responsibility or secure borders.
Now see my tagline.
Yeah, it is crazy. Welcome to the party, bruh!
Trying to swing back to NORMAL, after four years of promoted faggotry.
In relative terms the difference is clear.
Those who hate the USA hate its core values. They tend to descend into the Party of Hate and Evil.
And Humans only come in two sexes, male and female.
Human bodies are made for two-sex intercourse. Everything we know about the male and female sex organs tells us that these two body systems are complementary. They not only fit together, but they function together. It’s obvious that the parts fit because when brought together in a male-female sex act, everything is suitably sized and perfectly shaped for one another.
