    The Trump administration is exploring a “protest tax” for demonstrations in public spaces in Washington, DC — an idea that's anti-democratic and unconstitutional.https://bit.ly/2Eq5j9v

        Trump can not get away with this! A rise to fascism in America is happening in ever increasing time frame. These restrictions on the first amendment are unconsciousable. We must not let him get away with this but I fear that 60,000 protest letters will be in vain.

        I don't think so! Dictators do this! #VoteBlue #FLIPBOTHBLUE He's a tyrant without checks. The politburo [GOP congrASS] is why he's fulfilling Putin's wildest dreams. We are a Democratic republic. Dictators despise Democratic republics because they #CheckTheirAsses #VoteBlue

        So....drastically lowered taxes for the ultra-wealthy, but citizens who want to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and peaceful protest WILL be taxed? Yeah, that sounds about right.

        Trumpians love to call out people as unAmerican. This idea really IS unAmerican if being American means maintaining a democracy.

        They can put lying taxes on all in government. That would take care of the repub deficit.
