I agree with Mr. X_4D; there's a line somewhere between free speech and hate speech. And between opposition to the government and plotting its violent overthrow. The latter is treason; the former is politically incorrect, and may be worthy of regulation, at least in certain contexts (although maybe not by the government); or at least rebuke. And hate speech that incites crime and violence, is certainly worthy of strictest punishment.
And by that measure, Trump is a criminal.
But who knows, Warren may get his way. Under Trump, hate speech may not only be allowed, but encouraged. And political correctness may become a crime.
