    Once this bullshit is over -abd one day it will- van we please criminalize calling politicians to be locked up? And I’m not talking about your average Lemmy calling for Trumo to be locked up because of too many to count crimes he committed, I’m talking about politicians calling for locking up other politicians only because you don’t like them.

    If you have a following, first amendment no longer applies to you, you don’t get to say whatever bullshit that springs up in your head.

      This would make it illegally to call for Trump to be locked up for the legitimate crimes has has and is committing and is obviously unconstitutional

        No it would not.

        Calling for something reasonable after proven evidence is submitted that the person broke the law should not be criminalized, though even with that there is a time and place. Submit that stuff to a court, not to twitter.

        Either way, I’m talking about making random unsubstantiated claims or over generalizing claims like “all Jews are evil because they all support genocide” which obviously is bullshit

          How do you substantiate it without literally proving it in court which in this case we are here in the US specifically denied the right to do

      We should make it so all public statements by a politician are considered as under oath. With harsh penalties for perjury.
