You are delusional. The constitution will be ignored, so it is irrelevant. At this point the only way to save America would be to exterminate Silicon Valley. And since this won't happen, America will quickly become an authoritarian hell-hole. There will be more free speech in almost any other country.

You either have it, or you don't. Europe, today, has a relatively low number of political prisoners not because it has more, or less, free speech. But because its people have already been trained to be obedient.

constitution will be ignored

When the government feels brave. An armed populace, for some mysterious reason, scares the government, even when nobody dares shooting back. It is growing braver, but slowly. One unpunished massacre at a time. As of now, the citizens in the US can still sue the government and win. Providing they survive the encounter.
