I’m not American but you’re hiding from a very ugly truth. The conservatives didn’t invent it. There was clearly a sizeable group of the population who felt this way but were previously oppressed from their opinions. What you’re seeing is, I guess, “free speech”? You may not like it, but that’s the price of “free speech”.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the first amendment.
“Free speech” in the context of the US Constitution means that one is free to criticize the government without fear of retaliation (which is currently being dismantled). “Free speech” does not mean that one gets to say anything they want without consequence.
