If you’re a liberal, anything you say is protected. If you’re a conservative, anything you say is hateful.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that people with liberal views are often seen as immune to criticism, while those with conservative views are sometimes treated as if what they say is automatically hateful or wrong. This implies that there may be a double standard where the same words or opinions are judged differently based on the speaker's political beliefs, rather than the actual content of what they are saying.
