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.
Yes, Trumpism is extremely American, just like Trump embodies so many American virtues and vices.
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.
And making sure PP doesn’t win the election!
also haver to point out voter suppression works either through propaganda or straight up legislation,
So you’re a racist idiot then?
I think you may be confused. Americans tell the international community who represents them as a whole, as most countries do. In this case America picked Trump. They picked him using the method they created. They enforce their pick with the institutions they created. How self-absorbed and entitled do you need to be to call someone bigoted because they don’t have the time / inclanation / patience / stomach to then make their own arbitrary decision on each individual in your shithole country?
Maybe, if Americans weren’t such feckless, lazy, cowards you wouldn’t be in this situation. But no, the American way is to blameshift, like their Leader does. Like you do here: unless their is 100% internal consensus in your electoral process you expect the rest of us to distinguish between each of you. And those who don’t are bigots. Not your fault, is it… we are just bigots to you.
Do they still teach critical thinking in America, or is it just Pledges of Allegiance to Dear Leader now?
Maybe stop posting and go do something about it? One has to have their fat American neck buried pretty deep to not know how to help nowadays. Find people in your area already doing something and go ask them what needs doing. Or, as I expect, post about how it’s not your fault and how you can’t do anything. In 5… 4… 3…
“Home of the brave.” Ha ha fucking ha.
No, that’d be the group of people assigning blame to 100% of a group for the actions of sub 50% of said group
Bunch of disgusting bigots pretending your bigotry has a reason when you just wanna insult a group of people you don’t like because you’re a shitty person
Ewww. Dude, your American Victim Card isn’t accepted in Canada anymore. Sorry. Nearly everywhere outside the USA stopped accepting it. It’s still used widely in the U.S. I understand you all have one, and present it to each other regularly when the topic of ‘doing something’ comes up. What a testament to your ‘Land of the Free’ and ‘Home of the Brave’.
If you think my posts are insulting hold-on-to-your-RED-hat. I’m just a private citizen with no political power afterall, so you are not going to believe what your elected Leader has been saying about my country! And yet, I haven’t seen any victims up here in Canada. Crazy huh? I suspect it has something to do with our “character”. It’s a word your great grandparents knew a lot about.
It’s also affirming to be called ‘shitty’ by the people who brought the world Donald. Please, continue… or go do something more useful to help out those working against Donald. … Hahahaha … nah, why bother, amirite? Predictable. Better to put your energy here, defending yourself against me, someone who could-not-matter less.
Your turn snowflake.
Jesus Christ that reads like magat bullshit so well I stopped reading halfway through due to headache
You’re being a massive bigot, it’s a bad look. Especially since you keep implying I’m somehow responsible for the election of the president, proving you know nothing about me or my countries electoral system
Quite literally identical behaviour to the people in my country spouting bigoted nonsense about the Mexicans, dude, down to it being the country directly south of you
A nationality is not a race, dumbo.
Oh, I’m sorry, bigoted dipshit. Forgot you need to specify exactly what level of stupidity someone’s on or you’ll get pendanted to death
