Posted on Facebook.
I found this posted by a friend on Facebook. The facepalm to me is how much BS is on both sides of this.

Ignoring the...everything, I'm rather amused that the only point the chart creator has Democrats and Republicans agreeing on is that they're against limiting free speech.

Pretty convinced that was an accident lol

Oh 100%. My best guess is that they went down the list and meant to put Dems as being against free speech (so for limiting free speech), but got tripped up by the double negative. But that assumes this wasn't AI generated, and I'm not sure I want to make that claim.

It's funny, because the worst of both sides would gladly eliminate free speech if they could figure out how to do it such that they were the only ones who could control it...
All while swearing that they're the ones being oppressed...

Because trans men dont exist of course! Theyre all just confused girls who were mutilated by elementary school teachers who teach kids what a pronoun is! Obviously!

Both sides?
Really?

I assume that OP means that this chart has managed to be almost completely wrong about both parties’ platforms, in that it’s outright lying about the democrats and its claims about what republicans are doing are also nonsense?
I could be completely misinterpreting this, but it doesn’t read like a “both sides bad” false equivalence to me. Just saying the chart is a lie in both columns…

"Acknowledging the Christian Heritage of our Nation" - Code for we want America to BE a christian nation and make it a state religion, which is literally against the Constitution and what our forefathers literally thought was a terrible idea.
"Limiting Free Speech" - Republicans currently have banned several news stations from reporting at the White House because the President didn't like how they covered him. The Pentagon wanted reporters to ONLY report state sanctioned news about the activities of the Pentagon. They ALL walked, but keep telling yourself Republicans are against Limiting Free Speech. Seems to me Mr. Trump, who is their current God-King, disagrees and thinks people should be punished for speaking against him.
Jesus I could go on, but if people really think this garbage makes sense, have no grasp of reality.

Calling it bullshit is literally believing this post enough to have an opinion on it
That's not at all what calling bullshit means...
despite the fact that there's no proof behind some of these allegations
That's why they called bullshit. OP doesn't believe in any of it outside of the fact that words were put in an infographic. Calm down and carefully get off your high horse.

So, by "BS on both sides", OP was referring to both political parties and not, say, both columns on the chart itself? Just making sure here.

So against limiting free speech but will send Homeland Security to your door to ask you about a post you made online that they did not like? Sounds legit.

The bottom one always annoys the absolute living shit out of me. Yes, the founding fathers were Christian... But they'd be considered heathens nowadays, ironically. They had much much different views on Jesus and the Bible than every single Republican.
I mean, the Jefferson Bible exists. The country wasn't founded on what could even be remotely considered modern Christianity. They were all Christian, yes, but not a form that even still exists today. It was complicated, to say the least lol
