as no one wants those silly hate speech laws like in Germany…won’t prevent an attempted coup would it?

Why is there not trust in a start to a complete solution to rampant hate in America, hate speech laws, interpretation in practise by independent courts, tailored to both protect and defend free speech.

Free speech was intended as a shield, not a sword.
