This overly patriotic “freedom of speech”, “earth is the free-est planet ever” and “I’m conservative but I will fight tooth and nail for his freedom of speech” is definitely not how american conservatives today are. They are more about banning books, over-regulating everything including your genitals and “lol seethe and cope librul”.
That’s the same today.
They say ‘I’m conservative BUT I respect free speech.’
Not ‘I’m conservative SO I respect free speech.’
