Conservative talkshow host Erick Erickson tore into “moron” Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday after she claimed “hate speech” did not count as “free speech” and would be targeted by her office.

“Someone needs to explain to Ms. Bondi that so-called ‘hate speech,’ repulsive though it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. She should know this,” weighed in Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume

    If people could get over themselves and realize that fractures like this represent opportunities to try and find even the tiniest speck of shared values with those conservatives who appear to not be totally rabid MAGA cultists…

    … instead of just relentlessly mocking them…

    … there is a chance that a total obliteration of free speech and total crackdown on liberals and leftists, as in, throwing them all into jails, or worse, along with the establishment of a repressive theofascist state basically along the lines of Gilead…

    … could at least be avoided in the near term.

    The alternative is that all liberals and leftists and minorities and the homeless and soon to become homeless… act indignant and confused and outraged as they are more or less marched into camps for ‘making jokes’.

    If anyone has a better plan, or alternative analysis… I am all ears.

      You are correct. However, I don’t think people know how to exploit it. It’s two morons shouting moronic things calling eachother morons.

      I don’t know any leftists who are moronic enough to inject more divisive things into the argument without making the opposition to the regime look worse.
