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.

        But back to the point of this conversation you must have proof of liberals calling people Nazis right?

        That’s why you jumped into this conversation isn’t it?

          So let me get this straight. You need proof that Lemmy liberals call people nazis?! LMAO

          Do you need this proof because you have never seen that before here on Lemmy? I just wanna be clear here.

          Because surely you aren’t asking in bad faith. You are a fellow conservative community mod. You are helping the cause. So I hesitate to think you would be arguing in bad faith. Not you. No…not you. I know how much you are against trolling and sealioning.

                  But I def don’t want to fall under the impression that you are arguing in bad-faith. Oh no, I’d never assume you’re arguing in bad faith. I mean, you, of all people, wouldn’t be the kind of guy who lurks in conservative spaces just to drop random shit posts and quietly giggle to yourself about “wasting their time.” That’d be petty and juvenile.

                  And that type of guy would be the type to hijack communities and turn them into meme dumps mocking the exact people they’re supposed to represent. Or the type to proudly brag in other subs about how clever they are for doing it.

                  And that type of person would show up here just to stir shit and go full “Debate Club Captain” on every conservative post, demanding ten sources and a notarized affidavit for every opinion. Laughing again about how they’re just stirring up shit because they don’t like conservatives. Nah, I just can’t see you doing that.

                  And getting banned for not being civil? That wouldn’t make you double down out of spite, no sir. You’re clearly just a thoughtful, principled guy here to engage respectfully and support conservative causes. Totally.

                  I mean… right?

                  But are you saying you haven’t seen examples of Lemmy calling people nazis? I just wanna be clear…

                    I don’t think I’ve ever done that.

                    I definitely haven’t done this.

                    I’ve never been banned here for not being civil.
