Remember everyone, the Democrats are anti free speech because they'll be rude to you online if you use a slur.
The Republicans are pro free speech because they're okay with slurs, but you will be fired/deported if you support the wrong political side.
I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.
Wow, nothing says freedom of speech like telling folks to not expect it if they become a citizen. Like typically you put on your best on for guest, but I guess the United States is now at the "get the fuck out" stage of encouraging young engineers to the country.
............Except if you're willing to be subjected to a work visa.
I mean it's honestly telling everyone who we really are here. We don't want you unless you're willing to be a wage slave. I mean President is free to do that, but damn that's really sending a message there.

Obv. Harris would have been worse, right? I can taste the freedom and it tastes like my family's ashes. Had they been buried, they'd be rolling in their graves over the support my family has been showing for Israel.
Thanks Obama
