Why do some people proclaim they have `freedom of speech` & then forget that such freedom gives others the freedom to disagree with them?

Why do they think that freedom only applies to those who agree with them & put others down when they don`t? That is not freedom of speech, it`s `freedom` to be an annoying ass. How come some people can`t see that?

They also think it means "consequence free" speech. The 1st Amendment simply means the government won't lock you up (although there have been exceptions). It doesn't mean you can't lose your job, lose a friend or get punched in the nose.

@bijouxbroussard And importantly, only the right may have consequence-free speech. Online feminists get harassed off of the internet in targeted campaigns of rape and death threats all the time.
