Thing is, he is a criminal on trial, who is not only lying to the people who support him, but the government has curtailed and taken away rights for criminals before. What makes Trump so special? What is it the Trump supporters don't understand?
Threats aren't protected speech, and that's the main object of this gag order. MAGAts need to read a little.

Pardon my edit, but this is, I think, more accurate.

I think they see it just fine. That's why they went through the whole "god used a flawed king" song and dance. It's a fair trade for watching it all burn. They're frustrated.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Especially in the case of someone stupid enough to threaten the person who has the power to determine where you sleep at night.

Bopping around to different articles about the latest MTG nonsense.
She says climate change is good as it gives us longer growing seasons so we can feed more people. That all the rain or no rain thing doesn't factor in, I suppose.
She is also saying that we make fossil fuels. I am not a geologist but this seems wrong even with my limited knowledge of such things.
She also states that people didn't pay taxes to the government during the Ice Age to pay for climate change. An impressive response to that was - "Their assets were frozen."

MTG is so stupid, she's incompatible with life.
L'il Gymmy Jordan cannot be Speaker of the House. He aided and abetted the insurrection.
He called Trump THREE times on January 6th, and asked for a pardon.
He has consciousness of guilt. He then claimed he couldn't remember if he talked to Trump, and FAILED to honor a House subpoena.
Now he thinks he can be Speaker of the same house. What a pile of crap.
He's a traitor and a coup plotter. He cannot even *be* in government at all, according to the 17th Amendment.
Fuck this shit.

Republicans 2019: "We must leave the statues of racists in place so that we can remember and teach about the history of racism."
Republicans 2023: "It is illegal to teach about the history of racism."

I prefer "snowflakes", because I love seeing someone hoist on their own petard.
