    We all grew up with free speech. That’s what the USA has always been about. Now you have an admin who threatens and bullies taxpayers.

      We all grew up with free speech.

      Tell that to any Black American over the age of 65.

      The USA was a political experiment started solely by white, landowning, 20-something slavers for the express intent of genociding as many Native Americans as possible. It’s time for us to stop trying to “reclaim patriotism” and realize the American poltical experiment has devolved into fascism and must be dismantled.

        Ok but you do see how 65 is getting up there in age, right? Like I’m sure there’s a few people here above that, and OP should’ve accounted for that in their statement. But the vast majority of us have in fact grown up in the last 65 years where freedom of speech in the usa has been well and truly absolute.

        The USA was a political experiment started solely by white, landowning, 20-something slavers for the express intent of genociding as many Native Americans as possible.

        People over a hundred years dead do not define the present of a country. Hell, look at Germany. Sure they have a small nazi party but the nazis were only 80 years ago and aren’t defining their present reality…

        The political experiment line is just strange, seriously.
