Are du'ers OK with the government arresting people for this?

What's going to happen when you post about 'punching nazi's' (literally, 100's of posts on this site, saying exactly that...) and the repubs start arresting people for similar speech?

Again, for the love of gawd, please stop taking the 10% side in the 90-10 issues... it is what has got us to this point now.

This should be an easy one for everyone here:

"We do not agree with any government arresting it's citizenry based on social media posts".

How can that be controversial? How that can be a right-wing talking point?

Please...wake up.
