They support the idea of comeuppance.

Is it ghoulish to celebrate

Thank you for finally being honest that you are celebrating—it makes it much easier to have a real conversation—but who is they?

I'd suggest to go outside & stop basing your world view around bubbles on social media. Most of us live in areas that have people that support both right-wing & left-wing politicians. Do I disagree with a lot of ideas of people on the right? Absolutely! So I go talk to them, maybe try to understand them better first.. and then have a dialogue, based around empathy & patience. If I believe their ideas or wrong, then I show them based on how I act that they too can change their beliefs, be happy, honest with others & myself, & loving. That is the anti-fascist way.

We also have a legal system in the US, that despite its flaws, has had quite a few good moments. If people are legitimately making threats against your or others, slandering you or harassing you, then you use that system. Again, that is what anti-fascist do. They support & uphold systems like this, while working to ensure they are accountable. That doesn't mean they are perfect, and that injustice doesn't incur, but it is what we have & it has done what it was designed to do for the most part.

Tucker Carlson got out-argued and lost his job on crossfire - that was a comeuppance that I still celebrate.

Yes, and Tucker is now using his platform to oppose the genocide in Palestine... something many on the left turned a blind eye to their own politicians supporting & funding it, and that continue to do so. There is a big difference between a company firing someone vs. killing someone for their talking points.

Timewarp, why do you hate freedom?

I clearly don't hate freedom. I respect freedom, which includes disagreement, even when it is in strong opposition to my own beliefs. I have faith & confidence in my own beliefs that they are what is right, moral & pure, so I feel confident in my message & its ability to live on.

They’re going to try to do it anyway, regardless of what anyone does

Then I say good luck. I don't think getting rid of the first amendment is that easy.

I certainly hope that isn't what happens, but if it does.. I know that I can find plenty of people claiming to be Democrats that were opposed to free speech. So maybe that is what people on the left really wanted, and they are getting.. just not when they were in power.
