      All of those six statements were predicated with “This is such a non-thing that it hurts to even consider how stupid it is.“

      Ergo, let’s not make it a thing…

          No, they didn’t. The point that were made all stated that everything’s protected by free speech. No one here is upset about the Black National Anthem being sung, you’re just trying to stir up shit. Ergo, DON’T MAKE IT A THING.

                  Yes, that’s definitely what’s happening. I need attention from anonymous strangers on the internet.

                  ooh look, another strawman argument. strawman arguments all over the place today!

              Dog they just listed reasons they think the maga reaction is stupid and you’ve got a whole write up as to why maga doesn’t care about legality. You missed the plot it’s okay.

                  We know that though. We know they only care because they’re racist. The commenter doesn’t care if it’s a legal issue or not. They just think it’s stupid and listed 6 reasons they think that. Move on it ain’t that deep.

      In this context “that’s protected speech” means roughly, “STFU maga, nothing you can do about it, and you have no basis for your tantum.”
