The US is a rogue nation in international affairs. Since the 90s they have been trying to replace international law with a concept they invented, which they call a "rules-based order".
In the rules-based order, there is no international law or national sovereignty, there is only the US deciding how other people in other countries should run their affairs.
If the US decides that people in other countries are not behaving up to the US standard, they unilaterally decide to starve or kill them, through sanctions and bombing.
Now the US ruling class is turning on Americans. Part of the attack is to replace the law with mob rule, steered by the media.
They also are attacking the Bill of Rights, telling Americans that they must destroy their rights in order to save them.
That is why you have self-identified "liberals" informing you that free speech is OK in theory, but in real life people need to be shut up so that they can't say things that our overlords dislike. No "hate speech", no "disinformation", no "anti-science", no "triggering", nothing allowed but the Official Narratives.
Bodily sovereignty, also enshrined in international law in the Nuremberg Code, is also under attack.
And fair trials? Rules of evidence? No double jeopardy? Oh, hell no! CNN gets to decide and antifa is there to threaten the judge and jury to make sure they obey.
Liberals are down with all of that, the same way they support "preemptive war", where the US goes and kills a million people, so that they don't someday kill us.
