Free speech is noisy, messy, and open for even bad or offensive ideas and questionable positions allowed to compete in the world of public discourse. You can say almost anything as long as you’re willing to accept the consequences such comments create. People will disagree. They may hate you, defriend you, or even attack you personally. But in America, thanks to Trump, you’re once again free to express your views.
Wikipedia provides a helpful perspective on freedom, “Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.”
