But all rights come with responsibilities.
“Rights and responsibilities help make our communities better. Rights are freedoms we have that are protected by our laws, while responsibilities are duties or things that we should do. In order to be good citizens, or members of a community, we must understand our rights and responsibilities.”
Carelessly or intentionally spreading rumors and conspiracy theories is abusing the right to free speech. It's very dangerous! Words have consequences! We, especially people in influential positions, should be responsible for what we put on social media.
Trump has been abusing his right to free speech all these years! It has shocked me again and again that he could get away with whatever he says without any consequences! It shcocked me that he was elected as the President at all for that matter!
Yesterday's display was shameful. It's a sad day. I really hope that could be a wake-up call for Americans!
By the way, not all speeches are protected by the first Amendment. Here is the link to the excpetions:
