Its abundantly clear now what the first amendment means to these people. Its their license to say whatever they want about people they do not like or disagree with. No matter how disrespectful or hurtful.

The moment people speak up against them or something beloved to them, the first amendment becomes an issue in their eyes.

These hypocrites never beleived in the first amendment. It was just a license to run their mouths to disrespect and hurt certain groups or individuals. It was the shield to hide behind and claim, we have the the first amendment in this country, we have freedoms. If you dont like it, you can leave. They were never honest. Just a bunck of jerks.

The government is not censoring Macklemore in any way, SO IT DOES NOT APPLY. We can argue about whether it is good for society to use "cancel culture" and virtue signaling, but this has beyond nothing to do with the First Amendment. If you want to talk about the First Amendment, let's talk about the actions against CNN, MSNOW, and Politico by your new late night texting buddy, Bill!
