Discrediting Trump, illegal?

Post Reply New Topic

Why do american/U.S. political forums (I'm not talking WP) systematically delete anti-Trump threads?

Has it become illegal in the U.S. to say anything negative about your president?

All I asked for, on another forum, was why americans would elect a Russian-supported agent as president, who makes friends with brutal dictatorships like North Korea. The thread was deleted immediately.

Trump himself deletes negative comments about him too on social media.

It's apart of America f**k yea culture. You know as in "How dare you discredit our great leader?"

Sounds like North Korea...

Why do Americans like North Korean dictatorship?
(they must do, since they like Trump who likes North Korea).

The majority (although Trumpsters will argue with statistics) don’t.

Also, he was being sarcastic - it’s not illegal, Trumpsters just act like it should be.

I wouldn’t say “great leader” - I’d say “fearless leader” (Rocky and Bullwinkle reference).

It isn't always the anti-Trump posts that get deleted. Sometimes, the most strident pro-Trump members of social websites get banned for the hatred and vitriol they direct at anti-Trump members.

Since I don't frequent other sites than this I don't know.

If they allow other political opinion threads but not ones criticizing Trump then that would be curious.

America is not THAT far gone yet that we now outlaw criticism of our maximum leader.

But it may have to do with just general decorum on a site. The subject of Trump is just so divisive that maybe some social website just don't wanna deal with it. Just guessing. And maybe pro Trump threads may get the same deletion treatment.

I believe Trump wants to limit the rights inherent in Freedom of the Press, and various other rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

Ultimately, though, the fine foundation which is known as the Constitution will foil his plans.

A Constitution is only a piece of paper.

What matters in real life is real power, force so to speak, to be stronger than others.
This strength can come from high ranking members of the society who control the police & military or by the strength of the masses.

However, the latter is worth nothing nowadays, because of the technological strength. One man can have total power of thousands of men by controlling the military technology.

A True Democracy does not leave the democracy on a piece of paper, but take real action and scatter the military and police forces AND the means of production under democratic control.

Left Don’t seem to care when they stripping gun rights. This is what we’ve said all along, if you think one right can be stripped and if ignored be prepared for all the others, might as well burn the constitution and say politicians and rich can do what they please to the rest of us.

Nobody is coming to take guns away.

People (including military and others who own guns) are calling for a more complex background check. That is all.

Out of curiosity, would you apply the same logic to Trump's vendetta against freedom of speech? If so, then you also believe his supporters are anti-free speech. While I dislike Donald's tactics and think his supporters need to get their priorities straight (as freedom of speech is an important issue), I think it's dangerous to assume they're 100% behind absolutely everything he says and does. They may just not pay as much heed to certain issues and underestimate their importance.

A democratic republic isn't a true democracy, so I'm assuming you're not talking about the US.

In response to the OP, no calling out a moron for what he is, is not and should never be illegal. He has somehow hypnotized his sheep to blindly follow him though, no matter what evidence there is against him.

No they demand a assault weapons ban
High capacity magazine ban
Ammo bans
Extremely high taxes on guns and ammo

Even the background they demand would make people felons for shooting guns with their friend in the woods, which is why it was voted down.

They calling to ban and take simi auto guns so yes they are coming to take guns. I may very well have to give mine in on January if anti gun people in my state get their way like other states have done.

We call for a automatic transmission car ban, but we aren’t taking cars we just taking all cars with a automatic transmission (so 80% of cars owned)

Does that example explain it?
Taking a single gun is taking guns

Forgot they also admit non of those would do a single thing to stop mass shootings. It’ll have zero effect

It is not illegal to say anything against Trump in public many many people are doing it all the time.

It is not illegal when a private enity which what a website is bans certain opinions. WP is no different. There are certain opinions one can not express here without the post being deleted and the member being banned if the member repeatedly expresses them here.

As Trump has called the press the enemy of the people - with the cheers of his most strident supporters - I genuinely fear a gradual drift toward fascism. Trump is old and is probably in the early throes of dementia, so I am not so afraid of him extinguishing free government in America, but he very well may be ushering in a future American strongman.

Having gun regulations is not stripping away rights. Most people don't want all the guns banned, just better regulations so people who have violent histories, things like committing domestic abuse and violent crimes can't go buy a gun easily without a background check. And some limits on which guns are available to the general public...it doesn't violate what the second amendment says.

The second amendment says we have the right to bear arms, nowhere in there does it say we have the right to bear all arms regardless of anything. Also the writers did not have semi and fully automatic weapons in mind when they wrote it either. But yeah most of the left does not agree with a complete gun ban.

Not that guns have anything to do with this thread...however.

Well hopefully after this next election Trumps presidency will be over, I guess we shall have to wait and see....I hope so.
