Letting government determine what is "hate speech" and allowed or not is a dangerous path is my opinion.

Yeah, I feel for kids having to put up with that crap. But as long as it doesn't endanger them then it should be allowed. If it endangers them, release the dogs for all I care.

From the river to the sea doesn't need any kind of heightened analysis to recognize as hate speech. Their most basic chant is to exterminate all the Jews. And they're being allowed to set up camps at colleges and scream it at people walking by on their way to and from class. There should be no tolerance for it, and it's been allowed to continue for over a year now.
 
Timothy Snyder - Decapitation Strike

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out this way and that. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan.

...

The United States of America exists not only because laws are passed, but because we can expect that these laws will be implemented by civil servants. We might find bureaucracy annoying; its absence, though, is deadly. We cannot take the pollution out of the air ourselves, or build the highways ourselves, our write our Social Security checks ourselves. Without a civil service, the law becomes mere paper, and all that works is the personal connection to the government, which the oligarchs will have, and which the rest of us will not. This is the engineered helplessness promised by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are to head a black hole named after a cryptocurrency. There are already oversight instruments in government. DOGE is something entirely different: an agency of destruction, run by people who believe that government should exist for the wealthy or not at all.
...

And citizens, regardless of how they voted, need now to check their attitudes. This is no longer a post-electoral moment. It is a pre-catastrophic moment. Trump voters are caught in the notion that Trump must be doing the right thing if Harris voters are upset. But Harris voters are upset now because they love their country. And Harris voters will have to get past the idea that Trump voters should reap what they have sown.

The Onion saving this timeline is probably the only way it could possibly happen
