Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told "Fox & Friends" he would not be endorsing President Biden this time around but would be keeping his politics to himself.
Are you implying that only speech that results in someone being thrown in jail should be defended or something?
I don’t get how that question makes a lick o’ sense, especially since free speech absolutists defend harmful, hateful rhetoric that also doesn’t get anyone thrown in jail, just pisses a lot of people off. It’s not like people go to jail for misgendering trans people or participating in an insurrection.
Who in America is getting thrown in jail for supporting Palestians?

Then I don’t understand your point. If nobody is punished for their speech then they have free speech.
That’s a great point! Riddle me this: What are supposed free speech absolutists defending then??
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about them.
Alrighty, then. Fair enough.
The question was defending their right to express the opinion, not government persecution. Also, good job of ignoring 90% of the original comment.
