Nobody on either side of the political spectrum actually wants a robust First Amendment anymore and it’s not going to go well for us.

Some of the dumbest shit committed racists believe, and they believe a lot of very dumb shit, is that immigrants who leave impoverished violent despotisms to come and live in free & prosperous democracies do so because they intend to recreate the old despotism in their new home
