We're all old enough to remember when actor Robert DeNiro said something far worse about then-President Trump in using an actual F-bomb on national television during an awards show:

… Or Madonna saying she was thinking of blowing up the White House not long after Trump was elected:

… Or onetime NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for making political statements during games and being hailed as a national treasure for doing so:

… Or the Virginia cyclist who "flipped off” a Trump motorcade before running for public office based on her newfound celebrity, and actually won the election.

So, Kathy Griffin holding up a severed head of Trump, Peter Fonda wishing his son was locked in a cage with pedophiles and all the lies about Trump being a racist aren't examples of hate speech but Let's Go Brandon is?

Yep, and 'liberals' have called all of us every name in the book... called our President 'Hitler' for four years... and us 'deporables' then to hear these vulgar lowlife democrats complain when THE PEOPLE shout 'let's go Brandon' - and they're offended. Gimme a break - let's go Brandon... fuck these shits, toadies, and 'elites'...

Hate speech doesn’t exist, only in 1984.

Well, people are not saying either version because they love Joe Biden. But guess what? We get to say exactly, and other things, that under the First Amendment. That’s one of the reasons we have the First Amendment, without which there is nothing.

Well, at some point they’re going to abolish the 1A. They don’t care.

‘However saying a person is “just like Hitler@ and his immigration policies just like loafing Jews into boxcars.’

yeah, you gotta have a lot of crust to say something like that...

That is preparatory to asserting that disagreeing with the Biden administration is hate speech, and later on, voting against it is an ACT of hate.

With covid and the climate change hoax, they are trying to box us in where it will be difficult to blink an eye.

A few weeks ago someone on Twitter explained it this way: “ Saying ‘F*** Trump’ to traitor Trump is Patriotic; Saying F*** to patriot Biden is treason”.

No- read the article- he points out the hypocrisy of it all pointing to examples of “hate speech” accepted by the media, etc when Trump was in office.

Yes, there are similar articles in the news today. We are beyond knowing that the left are a bunch of lying hypocrites.

My question is: do the same Democrats have the enough self realization and humility to admit it. Maybe, just maybe, they should think about it. But we know that they won’t.

However, there is hope if we can get them to step outside of their bubble for just a second.

Could not pull the article up, but my point still stands. I have read many articles that claim it is.

The truth _is_ hate speech, everywhere and always, because the liars and sociopaths will always be offended when you call them out on their lies.
