Actually, yes you do.  It's called the first amendment.

The First Amendment does not apply to a case like that.  Maybe you should read it.  

"The government shall make no law..."  The First Amendment applies to the government, not to Delta Airlines.  Delta has no obligation to allow anything they don't want to allow.  

Imagine if you were in a movie theater watching a movie and some guy stands up and starts shouting political slogans.  Does he have a First Amendment right to do that, or does the theater have the right to throw him out?

If she's wearing a hat that says the word [BLEEP], maybe that's a bit vulgar. If a Trump supporter wears a shirt that says let's go brandon, who cares. If he's wearing one that says [BLEEP] Joe Biden, that's probably over the line. You can draw an objective line at vulgarity. You can't do that with implied vulgarity.

Businesses shouldn't be regulating thought. Again, in a true free market, I wouldn't care. However, we don't live in that world anymore. You people shouldn't be constantly ceding your power to these institutions.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but the business in question, Delta Airlines, was not regulating thought.  They were regulating speech.  They have a perfect right to do that.
