There is a difference between being weary of intolerants gaining power and censoring lower class people for having bigoted opinions.

Open borders are okay but there shouldn't be freedom of speech.

There shouldn’t be constitutions and other such laws declaring states power over individuals.
Freedom of Speech, no. Free speech exists in nature, like it or not.

The Consitution, ideally, is not to give a state power over individuals but to protect the individual from the state, i.e. it sets limits for the state, not the other way around.

All true. I've always thought that Popper would be better off re-reading the entirety of Plato's dialogues along with all the secondary literature he could get his hands on in New Zealand, instead of writing that piece of trash book. Never bothered to read the latter half btw, and I'm not planning to.
Huge waste of time.

Well, *ideally*, but it’s always either changed or ignored. The US does not observe the 1st Amendment in anyway now. It’s a document to worship now and means nothing. The way of all laws.

Popper got BTFO’d by Kauffman; he quite clearly didn’t read any of the philosophers that he criticised in the OSAIE, especially clear in volume 2.
