    These are issues that are only connected by the fact that our administration is enabling them, but presently if we lose the 1st amendment we will lose everything because our very knowledge that those other two issues exist is because of our constitution.

      if we lose the 1st amendment

      It’s not something that is won or lost. It’s a policy that is implemented or not.

      This administration is unequivocally refusing to implement 1st amendment rights (like, all of them, not just speech). That doesn’t change until the people running the county change. But it also doesn’t mean the 1A is “gone”. It’s still right where it always was.
