Political assassination is an American tradition , but talking about it is not protected under the 1st Amendment.

I think lines exist for Free Speech,

. . . I don't think saying something was good after the fact is illegal.

Explicitly planning or telling people to commit more assassinations, might be illegal.


I don't know, bit gray.

I think Inciting is different than appreciation.

Course 'how 'much is incitement?

How much blame can you give an ordinary person with a small voice, compared to important person with sway, whether legal or social?

If denying the Holocaust and preaching racial separation and hate isn't illegal. . .


"In the United States, where the First Amendment to the Constitution ensures freedom of speech, it is not against the law to deny the Holocaust or to propagate Nazi and antisemitic hate speech."

. . . I don't imagine it is illegal for people to say the Holocaust was good.

I think it's illegal to plan another, or tell someone else to commit another.

Trump repealed the 1st Amendment; it no longer applies.

I heard he was going to arrest people for hate speech now?

Yes, that and tattoos he doesn't like.


It's particularly problematic because he considers any speech that does not specifically complement him to be hate speech.

Trump even added the U.S. constitution to the Bible and charged 60$ for the changes.

I don't know about tattoos, but his staffer (Bondi?) said something along the lines of going after hate speech?
