Speaker Johnson Says Anti-Trump Protests Are Anti America Protests

I think the title speaks volumes.  People are allowed to protest, peacefully without violence and calls for violence, as calls for violence should fall under terroristic threats.  Calling for violence of a person, puts that person in a state of fear for their life, at least at some point, whether they admit it or not.  That's the human psyche at work.  Some people may shake it off and actually hope someone does something.  The thing there is, that's also the psyche, of someone who needs some help, welcoming violence, to be able to return with violence.

With this said, rhetoric for clicks and views is a thing in todays world.  People are allowed their own opinions, such as Johnson saying that anti-trump protests are anti American.  That is his right, but to lump everyone who's against trump as against America is disingenuous.

You can protest things, people, places, ideas, really anything you wish.  That's what America is, freedom of speech, and to limit them of this would be anti American.  However, as stated above, people can't call for violence, and I believe that (calling for violence) is a form of domestic terrorism.

I do not inheritly think everyone who's against President Donald Trump is deranged, or anti American.  I think they have their own views that they are allowed to have, as long as they don't go in the direction of violence or calling for it, then it becomes illegal.  However, I do believe at this day in age, a lot on the left, are definitely in need of mental health help, especially when not able to hold conversations about why they feel the way they do, and resort to name calling, violence, or other means in retaliation.

Again, I do believe a lot of folks on the left (and some on the right) are deranged, it's not a party defined thing, it's a mental health thing, that needs addressed.

I feel if everyone who needed mental health help actually tried to recieve it, our infrastructure couldn't handle how many people would truly benefit, and this is a problem.
