    IIRC the US would also not allow e.g. speech calling for a lynch mob, as long as it’s specific enough.

    Participation in a lynvh mob is illegal, but calling for one I don’t believe has been tested in court and would likely not pass judicial review (IANAL).

      Trump has been calling for violence regarding his many court cases, and has since been put under a gag order. Calls for violence do not seem to be protected under the 1st amendment.

        You can’t loose your rights in the US without due process. Trump is under a gag order after a valid due process made it so.
