If you want the government to act without limits entirely based on vibes you must love the current administration.

You may be right. Corporations may actually constitute individual people, given your willingness to suck their dicks.

Corporate entities are not individuals and have different rights and responsibilities.

I checked the first amendment again and nope, still doesn't say anything about individuals. Still says "Congress shall make no law".

Your pal trump, who is currently abridging the ABC corporation's right to free speech using essentially the same rationale as you, is going to lose his lawsuit.

You do realize that you're vouching for Trump right now. Corporations are the people period. The moment we start elevating corporations to having lights, we're going to immediately diminish ours.

You act like you're fighting for the people's rights, but you're doing the contrary. Right now you're just sucking corporate dick.
