    Good luck stopping college kids from protesting. I eagerly await the lawsuit that comes out of him trying.

    What’s an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

    Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn’t control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

      He doesn’t give a shit about the speech. It’s the schools and universities he wants to harm. Even if it’s just a matter of disrupting them through legal overwhelm.

      An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

        Yep. Nationwide nonviolent sit in protests? Pass laws to make it legal to run them down on a car if you feel threatened.

        Violent storming of the seat of our nations power and symbolic political heart? Oh that’s just some guys being dudes.

          Let the record reflect that, while this has not yet occurred, the fact that you have to ask is concerning enough to warrant treatment as if it has occurred. Furthermore, college campuses are one of the primary places that protest movements begin in recent years. Declaring protest illegal in nebulous terms like this is a HUGE swing toward breaking open the full fascism piñata.

They’re gonna catch me for protesting migrants Rights during prop 187?? Back in 1998? Those were the days…just the government trying to fuck up the world slowly with room for lube. Trump is power tool going full send after everyone’s rights. WTF get the guy out already!!!

      Apparantly, (in the US) any protest that needs to occupy the road requires a permit. Yea imagine how stupid it is, you want to protest the government and you need to apply for permission?!? I was shocked when my teacher told me about this. Seems like a huge First Amendment violation to me, but society just goes along with it. 😓

      So unless your protest is strictly on the sidewalk, you need a permit. So fucking dumb.

        Trump is worse I never said otherwise. My point isn’t that Republicans aren’t worse, but that the Democrats failed to live up to expectations of their constituents and helped lead us down this path.

        Killing protesters is too visible and often sparks outrage. Quietly deporting them or using behind-the-scenes methods to remove them is more discreet and allows the agenda to progress with less resistance.
