Republicans championing free speech once again by banning pieces of paper.
- but allowing hand guns....
  
  On Monday, the Tennessee House voted on allowing the pieces of paper along partisan lines. Democrats argued they were harmless, and questioned if guns could be brought into Cordell Hull, why couldn't the signage.
  
  Of course. You never know when a bad guy with a piece of paper might threaten everyone.
  
  Simple. Stuff the paper inside the guns.
  
  What would happen if they had the paper but also had guns. Or black people with guns? Or socialists with guns?
  
  How would their opinions change?
  
  The truth is way more dangerous to Republicans.
- Well that makes sense most Republicans there probably can't read and the signs make them uncomfortable because they can't shout over the signs.
  
  And it’s there forever. No matter what they say or do… that paper is still there with the same message
- Paper is scary. Plus, there’s a really good chance they don’t know what the “ > “ symbol means, so they are freaking out that it might be “woke”
Paper is dangerous, it covers rock and disproves Spock
Now that's a great way to cement your ideas as a total fucking joke. Be so triggered by a sign that you throw away people's rights. Great job.

Anyone care to hazard a guess at party affiliation? I'll give you a hint: it's Really obvious.
To be fair, paper cuts hurt.
- No, scissors cuts paper.
