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.

      No problem. I knew you and I were just alike. And see there? You are even going all “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and mentioning my name in our conversation. How very Carnegie of you. Well it worked! I definitely trust you now!

      And because I know you so well, I know you aren’t saying that as a subtle call-out that ya think ya “know” who I really am. And by saying my name, you are just emphasizing it–ya know, a subtle shout-out to let me know ya got me all figured out. But how could ya dare accuse me of something?! Because then I’d ask for proof, then you would be in that whole hard place of accusing without proof. So saying my name is def not a wink-and-nod thinking that you are smarter than me.

      Besides, as we both know, you wouldn’t have to be so subtle about it. You are smarter than I am.

      I would never figure out that you were trolling me; you are being so polite and respectful! Any wink-wink’s you have, would totally go over my head anyway.

      Come on, why would I even suspect that? I love that you are so honest and not arguing in bad faith. :)
