Top Trump official Stephen Miller’s recent declaration that anyone who “preaches hate for America” will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.

…

Social media users and legal analysts raised immediate concerns, pointing out that expressing dissent or criticism of the government is protected under the First Amendment. Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.

…

The backlash has reignited broader debates over the limits of free speech, especially as civil liberties fall under scrutiny. While immigration enforcement remains a core theme of President Donald Trump’s platform, critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller’s is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.

    As we all know, a person defines themselves through their actions. So does a country.

    Imho, saying Trump(ism) isn’t America is like people who do evil, but still think they are good people. Admitting you have a problem is the first step in getting better. You need to hate what America has become. Shifting the blame to the current administration just lets people feel good about themselves. They shouldn’t. There is work to do.

    The second step is meeting up with others in your community already working to fix it.

      Yep. At least 30% of americans supported this maga crap while the majority did nothing to stop him. As a Canadian, I’m not going to distinguish between those who supported trump and those who didn’t care enough to stop him. Both are equally responsible, and both must pay the price. Personally, i’m hoping the price will be so great that the US will split apart. Of course, Canada alone won’t make the US disappear, but the world united against the US absolutely will.
