The US extremist version of freedom of speech that also means freedom from consequences to what you say has nothing to do in a functional society. Which is why only the far right parties try to adopt it.

That’s not how the freedom of speech works in the US. It frees you from consequences from the government, in theory. Not in general.
In practice it doesn’t even work against the government when they choose to ignore it.
