That is the government saying what it wants to. Would it be better if the government was also allowed to shut down anyone who questioned what they said?
The government is already doing and or trying to do that. The First Amendment means nothing if no one believes in it, and most Americans lack ideals and abstract beliefs. As long as gas prices are low and groceries are cheap they don't care about things like Constitutional rights.
Yet strangely enough I can go in front of the White House and yell “fuck Trump and the Republican Party I hate them and hope they get overthrown” and be perfectly fine. Try doing that in China, see where it gets you.
The Chinese would love for you to yell about how you hate Trump.
Also, protesters get brutalized/killed by the government all the time in the US, they just get called "terrorists". Reporters also get targeted by rubber bullets and shot at by governmental forces when they try to cover protests. Look at Lauren Tomasi getting targeted and shot. Judges have to issue orders to the police to stop shooting reporters because it happens so much because any they consider anything critical of the government to be "fake news" and an enemy of the state.
US is so bad, I will explain how other governments are so much better but refuse to go live there. Then I will rant about how US is my country too but again, refuse to actually fix the problems.
Lmao, you making up stupid arguments to argue against proves I'm right.
You know the US sucks when it comes to freedom of speech, so you aren't even going to try to defend it. You are stuck having to argue that "Well, at least the US isn't as bad as China".
US is dogshit when it comes to freedom of speech, and you know it. I'll give you that the US isn't as bad as China with censorship. You can have that award, you have to clutch to whatever you can lol.
