I’m an eloquent motherfucker, but I don’t have sufficient words to express my contempt for Trump. I still don’t think I could ever consider assassinating him to be justified.
My question is, isn’t this conspiracy to commit murder?

words aren’t the only form of communication. Punching him in the face would certainly be adequate… and therefore must certainly be protected speech.

No? at best it’s raising a legal question. In very extreme cases, self defense can be premeditated. abused women who can’t reasonably escape the abusers, for example. The question is, at what point does a political candidate making threats to execute and murder his political opponents cross the line into that extreme scenario?
It’s not like I’m actively plotting his assassination, and neither are you. Conspiracy is far more deliberate, it involves specific actions. It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have, sure, but it’s probably one somebody who can muzzle Trump should be having with him.
Like, the plot to kidnap Whitmer, that was a conspiracy. This? nope.
Also, just for the record, that line is probably somewhere around the same time civil war becomes imminent.

You have to take some action towards it for it to be conspiracy. Just talking isn’t enough.
