There can always be social consequences for speech that is legal under the first amendment.
- SoftTalker 2y agoYes, this is really what I meant. The First Amendment does protect you from government retaliation for critical speech. It does not prevent you from becoming a pariah in your community or more widely for what you say. Just look at any celebrity who lost multi-million dollar sponsorship contracts over a tweet.
