They don't see it as hypocrisy. There is always an unspoken corollary to what they say. "You are free to do whatever you want (as long as you only want to do what we want)."
We are unquestionably right smack in the middle of a fascist regime.
There can be no doubt. "On the road to fascism" is over. We're here.
FASCISM is never good for the people. Johnson speaks of "freedoms" and he's overtly lying. This party is rogue. Our next election has already been under attack and this outrageous undermining is getting worse. ALL AMERICANS need to wake up and speak out against this heinous criminality.

Yeah, so much more freedom. No more cancelations. You can say the N-word, and the R-word and slurs for Jewish folks. I mean yeah, a few people are getting snatched up and disappeared by masked men without ID, but definitely more free. Asshole.
First rule of the internet and should have been the second, you never use your real name/likeness for anything. I dunno when it became standard to create a profile detailing your real life and then shit posting from it, but us early internet people know it's all avatars and usernames.
When will so-called journalists call out Mike Johnson? Republicans are the ones taking away our rights. So-called journalists need to ask Republicans do you support facism, yes or no. But there are no more true journalists.
Yeah, you’ve got loads of freedom of speech, just don’t use that speech to criticize the Zionist genocide, or anyone getting money from said zionists, and you can talk about Charlie Kirk as much as you want as long as you only say nice things and do not quote him verbatim. So much freedom!!!!
Yeah, the right doesn’t actually want freedom. They want to be able to abuse and murder minorities without facing any consequences or minor social pushback from the public. Basically, Republicans are crybullies throwing a tantrum because they can’t freely hurt out groups any more.
The right wants the freedom to be protected by the law, but not bound by it. They want everyone else to be bound by the law, but not protected by it. They want to be the Nazis.
As usual with these kinds of talking points, it's a form of rationalization. This one is likely "You can be racist, bigoted and lie on social media if you want to".
No mention of how that helps the oligarchy divide and conquer of course.
yes. Trump has made comments about cancelling the citizenship of dissenters and shipping the away. no due process. just, poof, you are no longer a citizen and you're out of here.
and yes, ICE Agents have declared that some citizen's certified RealID were fakes and sent them to detention already.
He's correct. They restored your right to be and act racist while taking away your right to be kind and speak out against hate, something they never did anyways.
Mike Johnson's idea of "free speech" is that bigots are now even more emboldened to be so openly, so by that "logic" of his, it tracks.. Of course just like every other Rapepublican, he doesn't consider anything he disagrees with to be covered by free speech meanwhile.
"You, by which I mean Republicans, are more free to speak, by which I mean your hatred and bile can spill over freely. I don't give a shit about anything else."
Republicans are still Americans just like Democrats, independents, and any other American Citizen, and fuck it, even people who are here and actively trying to obtain their citizenship. I welcome them with open arms, because thats the American way. Fuck off with this divisive rhetoric.
I genuinely don't want to feel that way but how else am I supposed to feel when an entire group of people are constantly telling and showing me that they want to destroy almost everything I believe holds value?
It's still weirdly splitting hairs and playing into their line of thinking. Citizenship isn't a moral state, nor is being American. They're absolutely garbage humans, but to essentially say that you're okay with stripping their citizenship from them over that sounds pretty fucking Republican.

Sadly, they delude themselves until they realize it's too late when the fascists declare them an enemy of the state and come for them too!

ill speak ill of Charlie Kirk right now.
He lost the gun debate. Yea, by a long shot.

If a Republican says something, you can be certain it is a lie, or a projection, or both.

Because what. They MEAN to say is you're more free to say hateful things Republicans think. That's what matters to them

Johnson is a Republican. Republicans believe that only Republicans are Americans, and that everyone else is neither American nor a human being.

And I believe they are firmly not Americans any longer.

It's odd when people are called out for being divisive when all they've done is acknowledge that one group has told everyone it's separate.
