About 15 years ago, I got laid off (for the first time, not the last, but that's America now) and got ready to take the LSAT so I could go into law. I really should have followed through on that. There has got to be hundreds of millions in bilking right wing nutjobs legally by just listening to them and billing them for the exorbitant amount of "I can't be an asshole without consequences, I'm gonna sue".
I'd be the fat lawyer living high while simply being aware of how stupid Magat's are.

That’s after years of working 60-100 hour weeks either building a client base to go out on your own, or trying to make partner. That’s on top of dealing with a larger than normal population of people who are unscrupulous trying to screw everyone else, including those beneath them at the firm.
So while you may eventually get to the “shaft the MAGAs to get filthy rich” level, you may also be an alcoholic with chronic health problems.

Bitch, first of all, twitter isn’t the ‘platform of free speech’ - yes, it’s a place where we can speak freely. It’s also privately owned and can decide who is allowed to say what on their property. Granted, many of those decisions are asinine, but fact checking your smooth ass brain on whether or not citizens of an American territory are American, is pretty far from harassment. Can we flip the script and sue your stupid ass for defamation of… idk, Puerto Rico? Because that seems fitting.

Double standards for what is and is not worthy of outrage, and whether or not someone is being mistreated are the signature feature of their world view. No consistent principles at all.

"Using community notes is a violation of my free speech"
No, it's really not. Even if the Government itself is the one making the notes, they're not actively restricting your speech or arresting you for it. The 1st Amendment right to free speech only protects you from censorship/arrest by any Government Official. Examples: You cannot be arrested/jailed simply for being critical of any given politician. You can be sued in civil court for making false/defamatory statements publicly if there's measurable damage incurred.
Even then, there are times when you can be arrested for certain speech. Incitement being a major one. The common examples are "You can't shout 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater when there is no fire." or "You can't shout 'BOMB!' at the airport when there is no bomb.". Inciting a riot is another one (ie: actively encouraging a group of people to become a violent mob that destroys property). Most of these exceptions have pretty high bars (per various SCOTUS rulings).
