If those are your criteria, then no political speech of any kind
would be permitted.

Here's the razor: The Constitutional guarantee of free speech is
specifically intended to protect speech which is not popular and/or is
critical of the leaders or political entities in or out of power.

This speech is guaranteed protection precisely BECAUSE it's not
popular, and/or critical of the political entities in or out of power.
Popular speech and/or supportive speech of those in power needs no
protection. Because it's popular. Because it's supportive of Power. And
the founding fathers, having escaped from a land where any speech on a
whim could be made a criminal offense, specifically sought to protect
the freedom by each citizen to speak his/her mind without fear of
retribution in both public or private venues.

To silence speech, for any political reason, is contrary to this
Constitutional guarantee.

Even if it's "promotion of lies, distortion, slander and political
ignorance."
