    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

    1st ammendment to the constitution since conservatives love to claim they support it

      Ah! But it says “congress shall make no law,” not that “the president shall tweet no bullshit!”

      Laws only matter if they are enforced.

      The right wing doesn’t care about law or consistency. They care about in-groups to protect and out groups to bind.

      If “how do treat strangers” is a viable metric for assessing if someone is a good person or not, the the right wing are not good people.
