Is it now safe to be publicly critical of the right wing?

[Anonymous]

I have read that many people who have not shown sufficient respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk have been fired from their jobs at the urging of right-wing operatives. Will this trend extend to those who criticize the current Republican administration? If so, would that be reasonable or legal?

It seems that we might be finally losing our rights to free speech. Do you agree, or do you think this is an overreaction?

I think we are losing our free speech rights.

We are certainly not losing our rights to free speech, and you are overreacting.

For someone who exclusively trolls anonymously, your claims are very rich indeed (rich with BS).

Anyone with half a brain would not consider openly and vociferously celebrating the assasination of a nonviolent person for his political views to be „not showing sufficient respect for his memory).

Leftists assume there will never be consequences for their extreme behavior and actions. Sometimes there will be, and that will be a hard lesson for entitled leftists to learn.

Critical, yes. Flagrantly inciting violence or celebrating it, no.

Nobody’s getting arrested foe their comments, but businesses and other private entities are working to preserve their image as much as possible, which includes firing people that mass amounts of angry conservatives tell them to fire

[Asker]

So far nobody's getting arrested but I think that if we give it a few months more we'll be at that point.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I think you assume that the executive branch has a lot more leverage than it actually does in the US government

[Asker]

I think not. I hope you are right however.

We are just a few more attacks against free speech away from being indistinguishable from North Korea.

I think you should be able to get sued when outlets call everyone nazis and fascists.

[BCRanger10]

When was it not? That's been the media's MO for ten years now.

Next year, criticizing His Majesty King Donald the First will be punishable by a one-way trip to Gitmo !!!

[blackeagle007]

You’re not wrong

[Staximus]

You have the right to free speech and your boss has the right to fire you for whatever the hell they want

[goaded]

They should also be free not to fire you if they don't want to, without the government threatening huge penalties if you don't.

left-wingers are still allowed to speak unlike Charlie who has been permanently canceled

[noohair]

At your job, are you allowed to say anything you want? Actually, no you are not.

Hold onto your rights.

It is America.
