    Political extremists are well known to "exaggerate", at best, and outright lie at worst. The political ideology doesn't matter since the extremism is the problem, not their political alignment.

    It is only the weak and the fearful who see this brand of fascism as a good thing.

Can you imagine the hue and cry from the Reichtards if Gov. Whitmer (D) signed a FL-type anti-protest law into being?

    with regards to making up any fantasy and passing it on as reality, completely agree
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Agreed. There'll be more mass murders before this is over. Primarily from the WSEs.

    Should we keep doing this until you pass out? Or should we just accept that you are drunk enough to stop?

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Anyone who protests in front of a private residence in Florida can face jail time and fines under a bill Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Monday.

    The legislation makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500.

    Wow he doesn't even pretend. He truly is a fascist. People being thrown in jail for exercising their First Amendment rights?

    I predict many people will be protesting in front of his house to spite him. They won't be enough rooms in jail.
    It's fascinating how fast the right wing in this country is oscillating between posing as first amendment champions and actually trying to use the government to restrict freedom of assembly and speech. The basic rule seems to be that when a private entity enforces terms of use for their services, that's an egregious restriction of people's fundamental rights, whereas when the government punishes people for their political speech, that's just fine.

    The government is not supposed to limit the right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition for a redress of grievances, nor to restrict freedom of speech. These are EXACTLY the things the founders had in mind with the First Amendment. The Sons of Liberty, for example, had famously demonstrated at the homes of various officials to protest things like the Stamp Act. The line the Founders drew was between peaceful assembly and non-peaceful assembly, not whether it was in front of a private home or a public building or workplace.
