Right-wing anti-freedom bill will not stop with the current menu of right-wing bigotry. Anyone who gives any credence to their arguments is paving the way to the erosion of your freedoms.
"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

Right wingers say the same thing of left wingers.
The solution?"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
The solution?
Everyone should be communists.
On a more serious note, this is true. Trans people are only attacked right now because they are the easiest socially acceptable group to target. But make no mistake, that line will slide right back to gay people being the main target again given the opportunity.

So what? They are projecting assholes who have no facts so have to project their shitty selves onto liberals. When one side has all the facts, always on the right side of history, the "both sides" crowd can screw off, its just an excuse becasue conservatives have no facts to support their stupid positions.Right wingers say the same thing of left wingers.
When do either or the parties care about freedom? Most of the major democrats run on abolishing the 1st and 2nd amendments
Please give all names off the democrats who run on abolishing the 1st and 2nd amendments and provide proof of it.
Clinton pledges constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United ruling
She will sign an executive order requiring federal contractors to disclose their shareholders’ spending.www.politico.com
Did you know that citizens united isn't the constitution?
Your reply was lame and didn't answer my question.
Except the right-wing is actively curtailing freedoms. The left wing is trying to provide healthcare.
Here's what right-wingers also say.

Right wingers also call highly educated, experiences people stupid, so they have no credibility

If you can't sort out who's telling the truth. It's like saying, 'Russia claims Ukraine is committing atrocities, Ukraine claims Russia is committing atrocities, what a waste of time'.I'm just bored of this. Each side says the same thing about the other with only the slightest variation in terms.
"Yeah, but they did X." "Oh yeah? But THEY did Y!"
What a waste of time.

Citizens united was ruled based on 1st amendment protections. That's why Clinton needed a new amendment because it would abolish part of the 1st amendment.
Either you knew this and you are being obtuse or you are willfully ignorant and incapable of doing a 5 second Google search.
Either way you are trolling and a time waster.
I have proven my point.
But wait. Doesn't Citizen United give some a much louder megaphone than others, essentially giving them more free speech than others? What about the speech of everyone else? Are we supposed to just let it be drowned out by those who can afford greater voices than the rest of us just because they have access to more money? What's wrong with simply having more equal speech?
And what about all the "dark money" groups that the decision has created. Should there be transparency in speech? Particularly In an election, shouldn't we be allowed to know who is making the speech? Where that money is coming from. Know if the NRA is laundering Russian money for Republican candidates?
I don't think that's really right. "Arms" is intended - especially by those who support them - to mean the power for individuals to defend themselves against would-be oppressors - and that's a form of freedom. The right to bear arms isn't like the right to buy pizza in terms of freedom.The second amendment has little or nothing to do with freedom other than to sanctify the purchasing of a consumer good.
Republicans trying to get their foot in the door: Allow donations, but we are totally committed the principle of FULL DISCLOSURE! That will ensure voters know WHO is donating, which addresses any concerns.But wait.
