honey look, freedom of expression and the right to protest in America just ~~got~~ dropped.
I swallowed my misgivings and voted Democrat, just like I've done at each election since I turned 18, but handwaving away valid criticisms is not how you get people to side with you. Pressure needs to be put on the democrats to be better, too.
I'm 100% for valid criticisms—I don't even consider myself a Democrat and I have no compunctions about criticizing them when I think they are wrong. But I'm pretty sure that meme is directed at those who withheld their vote.
Shielding the Democrats from the pressure to adopt more popular positions lost this election.
“…illegal protest…”?
Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.
Next time an american speaks about "muh first amendment", "USA only free speech country in the world" bullshit, show them this
This is the same as the Zelensky trap. They're going to cut federal funding regardless. The just plan on getting you to bend the knee before hand.
This exactly. Higher education hurts them in the long run so it was never going to get a pass. It’ll be gutted so that private schools can take over. This is just a way to put the blame on the universities and students who don’t bend to their will.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
1st ammendment to the constitution since conservatives love to claim they support it
Ah! But it says "congress shall make no law," not that "the president shall tweet no bullshit!"
This happened before: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl
a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich(LMU) with her brother, Hans.
"Such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives... What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted. Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt."
She's bae.
All federal funding will stop
That's the only part here anyone needs to know.
He'll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.
Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it's a bodily function.
Hey Muricans, this is what you wanted and voted for (or could't be bother voting to prevent)... enjoy
or, hit the streets and remove the fascist gov you elected
I feel like the overlap of fediverse users and trump voters is close to 0
Yeah but there are a bunch of "I'm going to not vote to 'send a message'! who cares if that makes the nazis win?" types
Ill do whatever the fuck I want bitch, shut the fuck up and go suck Elons dick.
Does "NO MASKS" mean that choosing to wear a mask to protect your health is now forbidden at colleges or is there another meaning that I don't understand? It is so random and has nothing to do with the rest of the post except for being "woke".
Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.
This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.
Anyone supporting this guy is insane. Literally trying to become an emperor
What does he think "illegal" means? Is he getting rid of the first amendment?
That word doesn't mean anything to him, except as a tool to prosecute people he doesn't like. Obviously laws and illegality don't mean shit when it's him breaking the law.
Pretty sure there is enough evidence for treason at this point, but Congress won't act on it.
Then they came from the students, and I watched my parents still beg for more fascism because they thought they were going to be billionaires any day now
Well there you go kids, he just explicitly named exactly all the things you should be doing.
I remember when the Democrats brought down the hammer hard on anti-genocide protestors in universities. Trump is doing the same, but expanding it to all protests.

Isn't this the exact type of thing the 2nd Amendment types were supposed to have their guns and militia to guard against?
Ah there goes another thing that distinguished the USA from China and Russia.
Well that's easy. The protests aren't illegal. Therefore this amounts to nothing.
Fuck this dude.
I didn’t think it was possible to hate this fucker more and more each day and yet here we are.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
John F. Kennedy
Blue states need to start up their own shadow government, fund their own shit.
ive seen a lot of nazi protesters with masks on though. what about those cunts?
"illegal protests" Pretty sure Freedom of Speech and Assembly is part of the first amendment. He's a putz
