Explaining the 1st amendment to MAGA Idiots.

[fmdaddio]

The whole point of the first amendment is that if you want to say Fuck Joe Biden then you can. And if everyone else on earth wants to call you a dick for what you did, then they can. Simple.

[Haggard Celine]

1. That's what I tell people.

You have the right to say almost anything in this country, but other people also have the right to criticize what you say. The First Amendment doesn't shield you from others' opinions.

2. Here is an explanation of the First Amendment that I ilke

PSA on First Amendment

3. Love it!

[MLAA]

4. Excellent

[paleotn]

12. it's amazing how many repukes don't understand free speech

but, they don't understand the 2nd amendment either

[GoodRaisin]

13. They treat the Constitution the same way as they treat the Bible.

Twist it to mean anything they want it to mean. Both documents are used to justify the world they want to live in no matter who’s individual rights are trampled by their inconsiderate actions. “We can do it because we can [insert any imaginary reasoning] we want to because one or the other or both of these two documents ‘say’ we can”.

[Skittles]

14. excellent analogy

spot on

[calimary]

5. LOVE THIS!!!!! Back Biden Better.

[Mister Ed]

6. They really, really don't get this.

In their twisted little world, the principle of Free Speech does not give anyone else the right to criticize what they've said.

7. love it . is the constitution even taught in schools any more along w

9. And might I also add

If you boss sees you being a total sh*t on TV - and fires your ass next Monday - that also is not a violation of your 'constitutional rights.'

(you're being fired for being an offensive drag on the rest of the workforce, and a negative representative of the company - just the same as if you were that person that refuses to shower or use deodorant for two months.) So - buh-bye!

15. He won't be fired. mums and dadums OWN the christian electrical company of

which he has been office manager since he resigned from the Medford police department in 2018.

[stopdiggin]

16. well of course they do!

but, I was speaking on general terms.

Many people seem to be under the impression that if the speech (or general piggish behavior) didn't happen while 'on the clock' they are immune from workplace consequences. There are literally hundreds of cases just in the last year or so saying, "WRONG!" And don't let the screen door hit you ...

[niyad]

18. So true.

[alphafemale]

10. At least grow the ability to say fuck.

Dear god.

[Kablooie]

11. They never understand the second part.

They always think that freedom of speech means they they have the right to say anything and one else has the right to criticize what they say.

Of course it really means that the government can't arrest you for expressing your opinion but you are not protected from consequences of what you say. Everyone else is welcome to verbally tear you to shreds.

[stopdiggin]

17. and isn't it amazing how quickly these strong, masculine

not afraid to "tell it like it is" stalwarts - are then almost immediately reaching for their 'victim' card? Thought you were all about "takin' the heat" and "bringin' it" - so what happened there?
