Do you have examples of the United States government targeting specific people, stealing from them, and firing them from their jobs?

Why is that relevant to my post? I didn’t say anything about the US govt. There are some examples however regarding “hate speech” laws but I don’t know them off the top of my head.
The other relevant situation here if we are focused on the US govt, is regarding vaccines in 2020. The govt and its agencies went full on psycho regarding an extraordinary amount of measures and broke dozens of their own laws doing so, but everyone just kinda said “I guess they can do that.”
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am still trying to understand the concept of free speech. So far, I have formed the opinion that free speech does not mean free from all consequences. I am genuinely trying to keep evolving on the matter and not to camp in my opinion.
"Free" just means that the government does not use its power to silence you. In the US, this is interpreted quite broadly, with the exceptions being specific threats or incitement to violence, slander, and fraud.
So no, not freedom from consequences unless one of the consequences is being thrown in jail or fined.

Yes just watch this little history lesson
