Strike the first amendment and let the second amendment become the first amendment. The third amendment will be covet thine own daughter and the fourth amendment is anything Trump says is law. Then ignore the rest of the amendments. At least that’s what Trump thinks.

Unfortunately, MAGA/fascist Justices in SCOTUS will only be too eager to bring that about.

He saw all of the USA chants at the DNC and is worried that the democrats are taking the patriotism high ground.
This is his not-so-subtle way of getting democrats to defend flag burning. It’s obviously unconstitutional and not serious. No need to waste any time thinking about it or arguing over it.

A year in jail for burning the flag? What about desecrating it by throwing your fucking name on it?
Also. 4 U.S. Code § 8 – Respect for flag
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Here he is openly acknowledging a fundamental right AND advocating for its abolishment.
Tell us again how he isn’t facist, Trumpers.

He should be jailed for sexually violating the flag though.
See, & I think we gotta restrict the 2nd Amendment.

He wants to throw people in jail for burning the flag. Nobody likes to see our flag burned, but this is hardly a pressing issue for voters right now. But, oh, how it riles up the GOP folk and gets them hopping mad.

Yes we’re all aware of how things go in a dictatorship. But the people don’t want an Orange Julius. Get used to it Donny boy.

Of course, Trump feels the First Amendment should be restricted.
How dare anyone criticize him or even make jokes at his expense.
His fragile little ego can’t take it.

The freedom of speech is first and foremost an Authoritarian’s biggest problem. If the populace is able to speak without hesitation or harassment the elected official is held to account.
Otherwise you are fenistrated Russian style. It is why it is the First Amendment. Ever notice that tRump uses I rather than we about damn near anything? Keep talking people, Donny hates it.

Classic fascism: complain endlessly about how free speech is under attack, but then immediately follow it with “we need to restrict free speech,” the idea being that, somehow, in order to “protect” free speech, you need to restrict it for your opponents.
Before anyone chimes in, private website restrictions on hosting content is NOT the same as the government throwing you in jail for speech. Trump is free to restrict speech however he sees fit on Truth Social, but that doesn’t mean the government can.

Right out of the facist playbook. Remove rights to vote, then free speech, before lastly wrestling control over the government and creating a dictatorship.
The fact that people are blind to see this is unbelievable
deJuice_sc on
well, since he’s open to amending the constitution, can’t wait to get some restrictions on that 2A
“If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.”
And yet Trump also feels THAT freedom to say many offensive and disagreeable things.
millymatin on
I must have a very different understanding of what “freedom” is. The 3rd world country I visited a month ago has more freedoms than we can even dream off. Fuck Trump and his stupid broken-ass car of halfwit clowns.
If Trump or his radicals try this then the U.S. will probably have a Civil War.

Burning an American flag is one of the most American things you can do. It literally symbolizes the freedom to do it. It should come with a sticker that says “Burn me because you can, buy another after you’re done”
