      some people misinterpret “freedom of speech” meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn’t going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.

      My bet is it’s a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. “They censored us for years, now we’re in power it’s only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!”
