ADL Frames 'America First' As Extremist
- The ADL labeled the phrase "America First" as extremist and tied it to antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia.
- Joel Webbon and Wesley Todd argue the label weaponizes social pressure to censor nationalist speech.
Cultural Labeling Replaces Legal Censorship
- Social pressure and labeling can suppress phrases without laws by making people self-censor.
- The hosts compare this to past poisonings of phrases like "Christ is King."
Refuse The Enemy's Frame
