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.

You are welcome William F Buckley.

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. :)

I don’t get it, have I done something to upset or hurt you?

I feel like this is probably the first time I’ve interacted with this account.

Not at all. I think we're friends and have the same goals. All good fun, mate!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You’re acting upset though so I’m just checking.

Anyways, I’ve got to get back to trying to find another liberal on this site and see if they’re calling people Nazis.

I don't think you will have to look too long. I have so much faith in you!

And I gotta get back to posting more articles. :)

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah you better.

Only ten posts and or comments a day isn’t very many.

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

That's very supportive coming from someone who posts and comments as much as you. Hopefully I can can catch up with you!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It helps to have a nearly two year old account.

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

So I need a two-year old account to post as much as you do daily? Because I'm new to Lemmy, so I'm not aware of that guideline.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh originally you said you’d like to catch up to how much I have posted or commented so I said it helps to have a two year old account I didn’t realize you meant a daily count I’m sorry.

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -4 points 4 weeks ago

I can see how that was confusing for you.

Some people just come to troll. Best not to feed them and let them die of starvation.

No I come here to make positively voted contributions.

Good point. And in my opinion, he's actually one of the biggest trolls on Lemmy.
