Nope, we have a republican form of government (read the f***in' Constitution ffs if you don't believe me) and in a republic, as klaw mentioned, the majority doesn't get to decide what is right.
In a republic people have inalienable rights that cannot legally be violated no matter how many people vote for them to be.Freedom of speech is one of those rights.

Oh I get to decide now? I thought it was leftists like pooty bot who get to decide what is and isn't right. That's what they seem to all think anyway.

What does a fictional character have to do with anything? He destroyed the galactic republic to become a cruel dictator (kinda like how the old roman republic government was done away with to make way for dictatorship).

We talking about the Star Wars universe or the real world here? You're not making much sense.

Yet you support a man who spent 4 years trying to restrict press freedoms in violation of the first amendment and who was recently outed as trying to get official government departments to stop comedians making jokes about him.

The problem is the Ethneo's of the world only ever had memes. Faced with the real world memes become something for kids in first world bedrooms and basements.
To be fair, white house press has always been restricted. Its a physical space, not everyone can fit there, so a pecking order exists.
That only made news because Trump went after one of the snooty "elite" papers.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
If you think it is wong for "journalists" like Jim Acosta to be denied a white house press pass but think it is ok to deny them to real journalists like Lauren Southern or Infowars' reporter Owen Shroyer then you once again your double standards are showing.

silly voltron making silly duplicate topics. we're already discussing first ammendment protection as it applies online in this thread. running away from this topic and starting the same topic comes off as very petty, cowardly, and pitiful.

I was pointing out how people who think it's ok for people they like to have a press pass but people they don't like not be able to get one are f***ing hypocrites. Neither your post or jadens or pooty's is even remotely a gotcha like you all think it is.
