Did you know that "saving democracy" and protecting the First Amendment meant that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert could never be canceled, or else our Constitution would be toast? I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I don't think the right to have a TV show that can't be canceled even if it loses the network and its owners tens of millions of dollars a year is what James Madison had in mind when he wrote the First Amendment.
Often the screeching about free speech being taken away comes in the form of people who won't shut up, all while nobody does anything to stop them, which you think is something an actual King might do.
Bruce Springsteen is of course one of those people, and I'm willing to bet the DNC wrote the script that he reads off a teleprompter:
There’s nothing more pathetic than a has-been like Bruce Springsteen needing to read left-wing talking points from a teleprompter for his TDS-fueled rant against President Trump—in the middle of his concert.

The "billionaires are bad" lefties give billionaire Springsteen a pass since he's willing to push their talking points while pretending he's standing up against something.
The Biden of rock concerts… https://t.co/v3PsivVKxQ

It's uncanny -- occasionally Bruce will even fall down just like Joe.

Last night 60 Minutes offered another reminder that nobody really cares what liberal celebrities say, but they're still trying. Trump is well into his second term, and he never would have been elected in the first place if anybody had taken these people seriously, but the media's still trying:
60 Minutes is wheeling out Hollywood actress Sally Field to fear-monger that our First Amendment is at stake.

Newsflash: Nobody gives two shits what celebrities have to say. 🥱 pic.twitter.com/Z4TKocKr6Y
First of all, any celebrity who was either cheering or didn’t say a word in 2020 when people were being censored or banned for telling the truth about a variety of things can shove their fake concern about free speech.
It really is at stake, but from a Democrat takeover, not Trump.

As usual, when a lefty says "threat to democracy," that person is talking about Democrat power being at risk, nothing more.
Hollywood was silent when Biden created the Disinformation Governance Board and news organizations were getting banned from social media for reporting the truth about Hunter's laptop and COVID'S origin. https://t.co/UgIuCkKr2u

Bingo. The Democrats -- Springsteen and Field included -- are just upset that the Left isn't in a position to be the ones doing the censoring. It's as simple as that.
