    It’s now clear that most people never cared about freedom of speech, or even understood why it’s important. They only care about freedom of speech as it applies to themselves. I suppose that’s distressingly true for all of the rights we used to take for granted.

    Regardless, it’s still law, and the courts are still limping along, so there’s still hope.

    I think the biggest hope we have left is that our military leaders swore an oath to the Constitution, and that they’ll honor that if Trump tries to stay in office come 2028. That is, assuming he hasn’t kicked the bucket before then. Exactly what this would look like, I don’t know. I suppose it just means the rigged-elected VP would become President, and we’d still be in a mess.
