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.

                  Edit:

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

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

                    Nah… of course not!

                    I definitely haven’t done this.

                    Nah… of course not! Because that would make you a total troll. And no way you would be a troll. You are a stand-up guy. You are helping the conservative cause! No way you would ever do that.

                    And hey, to be honest, I’m not very bright. So I’d probably never notice if ya did. I mean, come on, you know I’d totally fall for you saying stuff like, “do you have any proof?” or “anything to back that accusation up?” Or even “Hey my conservative community is a bastion of free speech and not just to mock conservatives!” I would read that and think to myself, “Yep, he’s a stand-up guy and not arguing in bad faith.”

                    So really, thank you for not taking advantage of my dullness. Thank you for not really just trying to be meta and out-troll a group of people you think are trolls. Thank you for not seeing conservatives as worthy of mocking just because you know, the democrats lost the easiest fucking election in the world against fucking Trump of all people!

                    I am glad you are not one of those folks. Thanks for being such a stand-up guy who’s not so bitterly disappointed in the election results that he decides he is just gonna troll conservatives as much as he can. You know, just to have a little sense of control over the chaos.

                    Whew! Sooo glad you are not like that and that you are on our side!!
