Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.

We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.

His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.

The United States already prosecutes many activists as terrorists, or at least tries to charge them. All this would do is turn that up to eleven.
