Nearly everyone is guilty of what you’re saying about 1A. And I’d argue the right is making a far more concerted effort and progress in banning books and speech they disagree with.
You have something on the 2A, but I’d argue again that some people on the right believe they have a right “or need” for rocket launchers and miniguns. Which, maybe per the 2A they do. But the problem is that the people who think those weapons are necessary to protect them from a tyrannical government accidentally allowed those things to get used on schools. And, all of those people and the NRA love to ignore the well regulated part. So there’s extremists on both sides.
And I’d argue no one assaulted 4A like the patriot act which was definitely not liberals (but I’m sure some were involved).
Extremists on both sides are guilty and one of “our” tasks as rational citizens is to not generalize “those we disagree with more” as said extremists.
Thanks for answering tho.
p.s. if you want to see some fascinating history about hate speech and 1A watch the recent American Experience episode called Nazi Town USA. It will only be available to watch online for another week or so (at least at the source).
