    Wait, I thought this party was about trying to legalize comedy again. Because no one was allowed to laugh prior to Taco being back in office.

    What happened?

      If Republicans didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all. They would just selectively enforce and wear the hypocrisy as a badge like fascists do. It’d just be a way to flex their power while giving them a new way to attack and harass.

    If these people aren’t the most butthurt snowflakes ever over this podcaster, they sure are pretending to be.

      It’s only about Nazi free speech. They’ll pretend we all need to allow their free speech, no matter how hateful, because, “free speech”.

      But they don’t have any intent of YOU having free speech.

      That’s the paradox of tolerance that Popper talked about…

        Fascists don’t believe in the meaning of words.

        They are free to play in bad faith, while libs waste time and energy debating their bad faith arguments; exactly what the bad faith actor wanted.

          Exactly.

          Words are nothing but weapons to them, tactics to distract, demoralize, dogwhistle, whatever.

          You do not speak to a fascist with words.

          You speak to them with a fucking baseball bat.

          … not like they would ever do any good with a working jaw anyway.

    Didn’t republicans make truth social and the other rightwing shitholes specifically because “tHeY’rE cEnSoRiNg Us” for saying shit more vile than what they’re throwing a fit about now?

    It’s almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.
