    You know… Stan Lee was talking about when they were comming up with Dr Doom. “Isn’t it weird you can’t be put in jail for saying you want to do world domination?” and that keeps replaying in my head. Well that and Trump being the least like Dr Doom a person can get aside from wanting to rule everything.

      Fun fact - talking about overthrowing the government is legal

      However, if you actually try to do it - like calling out people to do so - then that talking retroactively becomes a crime of conspiracy to commit (eg treason). That was a Supreme Court decision from early in US history.
