SCOTUS said that the state should have final say on what was appropriate for personalized license plates. Everything that I’ve ever seen regarding personalized license plates has affirmed that they have the discretion to determine what is appropriate and what is not. Propriety is a subjective critter and there are always going to be those who don’t get what they want.
If you choose to see this as a Niemöller moment then buckle up buddy because you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The state implies a legislative body, not just a governor.
And you are either so cognitively unaware that you are incapable of understanding the big picture, or you are deliberately ignoring the free speech/equal protection aspect of this.
The state can no more prohibit one sort of speech than they can another, and they are obligated by the 14th amendment to treat everyone equally under the law.
They don't get to exercise "discretion" when it comes to freedom of speech on public property. There is no "permitted" speech, and "prohibited" speech.
And your argument "The supreme court says so" is just a variation on the theme of "might makes right", which come to think of it, seems to be your answer for a lot of other sorts of tyranny as well.
Are you sure you belong on a conservative web site? The Liberals are the ones who generally advocate the totalitarian stuff.
