In this case, free speech was given up on with the 14th amendment, in 1868.

The 14th amendment, section 3, penalizes providing "aid or comfort" to an insurrection. This can include just supporting the insurrection by speech (which is what they executed Tokyo Rose for, for providing aid or comfort to a foreign enemy.) Most specifically, just continuing to propagate the "election was stolen" meme would qualify.
