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.
What does “hate for america” even mean? Does “I think mcdonalds fries are garbage” count? or “republicans are whiny little maggots”?
Pretty sure this comment alone is like 5 reasons by itself
Really hate the milktoast way these articles are written. “critics warning” “ignited alarm online” “backlash has ignited debate” ffs just say the Trump admin announced the end of free speech. That is literally what happened.
Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
FFS WE’VE BEEN THERE THIS ISN’T VEERING THIS IS FOLLOWING A STRAIGHT LINE ALONG THE PATH WE’VE ALREADY BEEN ON FUCK
milktoast is a pretty milquetoast breakfast, though i will admit it actually pairs well with a milk steak boiled hard
With jelly beans?
Disagreeing with the dear leader will also be the same as preaching hate for America
Not clapping enthusiastic enough will also be the same as preaching hate for America
Here it is, the mask comes off and they tell us to comply or die. We are officially in a fascist dictatorship.
This is where we use our community organizations to alert when and where ICE will be showing up, and making sure armed support shows up to make sure ICE steps down or dies whenever they slink out of the shadows.
If they come for you to deport you to El Salvador you need to kill as many as possible or try to escape to Mexico/Canada, because going to El Salvador is a death sentence anyway.
Whats that joke Reagan cracked back in the about Russian Soviets not allowed to criticise their government?
Yea, huh. Wonder what happened to that.
They are going to milk the extrajudicial rendition until there is an actual outbreak of violence to try and stop it.
Then Trump will send those people involved into a gulag, too.
Agreed the purpose is to cause people to act and then move in to crush them. All the while playing the victim. Of course that play doesn’t always work.
“Worries users” - is the USA an operating system now?
Is AI writing these posts? The statement makes sense in context in the full post, but the headline absolutely does not - leads me to believe yes, AI slop.
Fuck Steven Millier the majority of Americans hate the POS fucktard! The majority of Americans hate the way the moronic fat orange slob trump has changed democracy in America and find him repulsive, disgusting and a complete fucking idiot along with his cabal of asshat republicans who can fucking shove christianity, their Bible and their ideology up their privileged white asses! Nothing but POS cowards, white trash who hide behind their walls and use the moron low IQ ICE Agents who probably average an IQ of 2! Can’t wait to see America fight back…in time those agents will regret their I’ll will!
Sir, please step this way. Your flight to El Salvador leaves from gate 88.
Skip the first and head right for the second I see.
You left out this:
💯
Trump once said that this guy, Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, told him that he’d like to see America’s population reduced from the current 335 million down to 100 million.
Surely you guys can take out Stephen Miller before he takes out 225 million of you?
He’s essentially daring us to use the 2nd Amendment, which is exactly what they want. Then they can declare Martial Law, and suspend the Mid-term elections.
They cant allow the 2026 Mid-Term to happen. Its shaping up to be a bloodbath for MAGA, and if they lose either chamber, the Dems will control investigative committees with subpoena and arrest power. So they are looking for an excuse to suspend elections for the first time in our history.
So they will be trying to goad us into violence through their words and actions, and eventually they will incite violence at the protests, which will be nearly daily by next summer. They have to time it carefully, and suspend elections close enough to election day that the courts can’t react in time. That means next summer will be really ugly.
This is just the start.
What stops them suspending the mid-term elections anyway?
America has NEVER suspended an election, even during the Civil War. Just declaring them suspended would be far too alarming for even many MAGA Morons. They’ll want an excuse, a justification, to keep as many of their stupidest followers on board for as long as possible.
Thats how it’s done. They didn’t send a bunch of innocent brown people to El Salvador, they sent “violent gang members,” even though at least 80% had no criminal record. They need to keep plausible deniability for as long as possible, to keep things from getting too hot and boiling over.
You overestimate the maga morons. If it triggers the libs they will get on board of suspending the elections.
LOL, PeeWee Himmler. I’m stealing that one… yoink 🤣
Public domain, spread the word.
If the feds show up to collect me for voicing my opinion. There will be no questions asked. You come through that door. Some of you are not going home.
I don’t hate America. America is a continent. It would be really silly to hate an entire continent.
Was not expecting the purposefully obtuse European response in this thread.
The Talibangelical issues a Fatwah.
We don’t hate America. We hate you.
