They were interested in “free speech” when it helped them attack the Establishment. They attacked our culture with no holds barred, and used their Constitutional rights as a shield.
Now they are the Establishment, and conservatives are the outsiders and insurgents. All of a sudden, “free speech” is a problem for them, and so they want to get rid of it, and the Constitution.
Just phony, pseudo-intellectual BS artists, same now as in 1964.
In 1964 I learned that “the only good Commie is a dead Commie”. That is as true today as it was, then.
