A content creator I follow just called Trump a dictator. How is it that he isn’t being deplatformed after Trump labeled antifa/anti‑fascist activity as a domestic terrorist crime and pushed executive actions targeting it?

    Its because “dictator” is a useless political buzzword that means nothing.

    Antifa is when you say free Palestine which is an assault against the state and society.

    He can say what he wants (both Trump and your content creator), labeling any American group a terrorist organization is near impossible within the current frameworks. And even the legislation that was drawn up after 9/11, was drawn to specifically target the perpetrators of 9/11, no one else. So they really can’t do anything about their stupid ‘terrorism designation’ until a few more steps happen. And they know anyone who they try to slap with it will get off until then, look at Luigi Mangione’s terrorism charge.
