Not FBI, but if you think it’s wrong to be mindful about seditious comments on the internet in this day and age, I’d say you have a tenuous connection to reality.
While I agree, unfortunately whoever is in charge gets to decide what’s “seditious” means. Right now we have the freedom (though many of us are probably on lists, which will be passed on to the next admin) to speak up against these fascists.
But if/when they take power? That’s when there could be a reckoning. I, personally, am not a fan of violent rhetoric, but I wouldn’t be surprised if my outspoken anti-fascist ideals would put me in the crosshairs when the fascist GOP truly gains control.
Personally? If it comes to Europe pre-WW2 levels of outright, blatant fascism spreading uncontrollably in the US, I would rather die standing up for what I believe in, than to use my white, middle class privilege and knowledge of how Evangelicals think to hide amongst them.
I’m pretty sure the FBI isn’t so stupid that they can’t tell whether or not someone is talking about armed uprising until someone else asks them for clarification.
Or is this one of those “you can’t arrest me if you tell me you’re a cop” urban legends?
Nice try FBI
Edit: it’s literally a meme

Opposing traitor trump is the furthest thing from seditious there is. It’s the only thing any true patriot can do.
