There are different ways to attack an amendment other than outright repeal. I doubt the ritualistic act of repeal could ever fly in America, but the passage of additional amendments, or the rendering of the First Amendment useless through various mechanisms, could occur. There is also the danger that the First Amendment comes to be seen as nothing but a tool of the rich, of oligarchs, a corrupting force. That has not occurred; and there is a good chance it will never occur but it is one of the possible threats to it.
