“Illegal protests”
I fucking hate these people so much
- The U.S. is now a dictatorship.
  
  I’m aware. It’s been a dictatorship of capital for a while but now it’s fully mask off when the so called opposition refuses to oppose.

So with the 1st Amendment dead, time to move on to the 2nd?
- They do seem to be begging for it. Isn't funny how they stopped talking about the 2A all of sudden? NRA has been rather silent.
  
  I think they had the paperwork to declare martial law ready from his first day.
  
  I think the NRA is in the process of filing for bankruptcy and most of their executives are going down for embezzlement. (well in a world that makes sense the second part would actually happen.)
- I wouldn't be surprised at all if registered Democrats ended up getting NICS denials. It's an FBI system that would be easy to manipulate.

Dude can fuck fight off. He's not going to scare us into submission. He's going to start a fucking civil war, and he's an idiot if he thinks that's not what will happen.
- He's going to start a fucking civil war, ...
  Yup.
  ... and he's an idiot if he thinks that's not what will happen.
  It's what he wants to happen.
- That's exactly what his supporters want, though. An excuse to start shooting The Blahs, Jews, foreigners, LGBTQ, uppity women, and people they know to be liberal, federal workers, Hollywood/news celebrities and politicians that they hate, etc...
  
  I think his supporters are going to learn the difference between "peaceful" and "harmless" really quickly.
  
  Maybe, but at a certain point, people get tired of being pushed around.

Fortunate that the constitution explicitly makes protesting legal, right guys?…
- Right? That's pretty obviously the entire point of the first amendment right? Anyone?

Private company banning hate speech: "omg, what about my free speech?"
Government banning use of certain words and calling protests illegal: "finally rooting out waste, fraud and abuse!"

'illegal protests'
Then they're safe, since protests are legal.
- You’re still using the old dictionary. The new one has “legal” defined as “okay by Donald.”

Free speech absolutists.

He wants to get rid of the Department of Education anyway, so what is there to lose?

Turkey much?

Say Trump, what constitutes as "illegal?"
- Probably anything they can label as "against christian values." To keep it as vague as possible.

Usually if you are protesting the police always attempt to find reason to arrest you.
Now here is the trick they did with Falastien, call Hamas terrorist group, call anything about Israel antiemetic, call any criticism of Israel hate speech, have unclear laws about hate speech and gave power to federal agent to do whatever against terrorist.
Both allowed police, and collages to call protest against a genocide an illegal act.
Now, what trump plans to do, as soon as there is a protest, they can call the group a threat to America and make them terrorist , which allow police and federal agency to pick them up and investigate them as they like. It also allow republican companies and groups to reduce their ability to get jobs and maybe run buses with their faces and names around campus, similar to what they did to protester of Gaza genocide.
It was a slippery slope that started a while back and every administration keep going down hell, but now we have someone who doesn't care about public image snd will do whatever he like.
- Hamas is a terrorist group though

Well that’s not fantastic
