This meme is punishable by up to a year of slavery if Texas Trumpocrats get their way. And if they pass it I will post illegal memes all day long.
Is there a single person here that is pro-British government?
It’s a government that has been run by conservatives for decades yet has a bunch of free speech violations and socialized healthcare. It’s like a Frankenstein’s monster of hated government.

Not sure the best place for this, but I have a genuine question:
For someone who is taken by Matt Walsh’s general argument here, what is the positive of this woman? I’m not actually unfriendly to many of the conservative arguments on free speech, but what I don’t understand is how to come away from watching a woman repeatedly use a slur to refer to a small child, and come away with anything but disdain. Should her entire life be ruined? No. Should people threaten her or abuse her in public? No. But what is the cause she was advancing that necessitates giving her thousands of dollars and how is this behavior any different than the idiots who donated to Karmelo Anthony’s family? If it’s not racism fueling this behavior, what is it? There are some very prominent right wing figures all-in on this, and I’m curious what positive reason there could be for it.

For starters, it's that people like yourself just equated her using a slur to another person murdering someone
I have no love for this woman but her appeal to many is her willingness to break the "rule" imposed on us from societal engineering and as Walsh explained the complete double standard of acceptable discourse depending on the color of your skin
Not equating her actions with Anthony’s, I’m bringing his family’s actions up because it’s another recent example of a bunch of idiots donating their money to someone for a dumb reason.
The issue I have with this rules and double standards argument is that this takes it in the wrong direction. Even if I understand the idea that there’s an imbalance, why would anybody’s direction be to support *more* racism and hatred rather than encouraging less from the other side?

Newark mayor arrested at ICE facility during protest with congressional Dems
Newark Mayor and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka has been arrested at New Jersey's Delaney Hall ICE detention center, where he had been protesting its opening with Democratic members of Congress.
Technically this is more of an overreaction to trespassing since he got arrested after trying to use an unauthorized door. Would be curious on the legality of the arrest and jurisdiction, though.Newark mayor arrested at ICE facility during protest with congressional Dems

deranged is not the right word
and kinda weird Justin can't bring himself to name the perpetrator(s)
anyhow if it will help: this is an actual for real attack on freedom of expression by the United States government with President Trump providing the impetus and Secretary of State Rubio providing the rationalizations.
