The constitution guarantees you a right against government imposed consequences. That is all. You can have consequences from a business or other people without violating the constitutional doctrine of free speech.
Yes which is what i have been saying constantly, so thank you for agreeing with me.
What Ron DeSantis and Trump continually try to do is use the gov't to impose consequences on and to shut down free speech and free association.
If a Social media company, cruise line or Disney or a local diner in Florida wants to say no shirts, no shoes, no service, or no mask no service, or say XYZ and we will ban you, ...that is their free speech and free association right. The customer can tell them to go fuck it and spend their dollars elsewhere as a consequence. But if gov't jumps in and says you must serve them or you must let them say XYZ that is NOT free speech or association. It is gov't fascism. That is what Trump and DeSantis push, fascism.
