Ah yes, the "freeze peach" folk showing, once again, they’re anything but.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Moreover, they argue, threats of deportation could have a severely chilling effect on free speech and the right to protest.
Weird.
This is not a matter of free speech,” Rubio insisted in a Fox News op-ed. “It is about abiding by the conditions of their visa—a voluntary agreement between them and the US government.” Those who “incite violence or endorse terrorist activity,” he said, violate those terms.
Oh right, it's about the conditions of humanitarian speech to oppose Rubio's and other Republican's misanthropic support for Israel. I suppose people like myself who value life over the unborn and firearms should really reconsider our stance.
At this point, are conservatives still considered as Americans?
Biden is a conservative. The people we’re taking about here are regressives
The people we're talking about are fascists.
Yup.
But I like calling them regressives too. It’s fun watching them blink in confusion trying to figure out what I just called them.
They’re the same picture
Not to me, they aren't. To be an American, I think you should be human first. Or at least sentient.
Hey, this is a fun idea! Conservatives have said for years they are cool with expatriating Americans and deporting them to "make America great".
Nearly every act of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia and other bigotry ever committed in the U.S. has been committed by conservatives. We could really make America great by just deporting conservatives! And since this was their idea, I see no problem with starting (and ending) with them.
Let's build the Mexico wall, and put conservatives on the other side of it
The selfish side of me loves your idea, but I would hate to do that to Mexicans. They have done nothing to deserve our plague of conservatism.
Let's build the wall and move to Mexico.
FFS not everything is black and white.
Just because you disagree with the actions of one side doesn't mean you automatically agree with the actions of the other side. Both sides can be in the wrong and you can stand in the middle pointing that out.
Beyond that, you have the right to free speach; unless the government (or just some random senator) disagrees with that speach? Even if they were openly agreeing with everything HAMAS does while also condemning Israel; that's a deportable (or even remotely punishable) offense? The fuck?
Whoa hold on, you're making too much sense.
This is the same bullshit game they play to chill every other sort of speech and expression they think ought to be stuffed into a closet and/or out of public life- threaten those that speak it, greenlight the bullying, and make life hell for people that insist on having their own opinions or identities, and then cry crocodile tears about how they hate our freedom
