The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

When you fail an open book test...
Honestly, trump voters can't be called [A]mericans anymore, they got [F-], now the entire class is getting punished because most present on the exam day failed, and some didn't even show to to take the test.
In reality, it doesn't matter how legal something is.
The question is who decides if it should be enforced and when.
If you say it, it WILL be enforced. If the President said it, probably not so much.
Since laws don't exist anymore (of course depending on which side you are) and the president can do whatever he wants with no consequences he can totally have anyone killed.
It's well known that the president of the USA isn't allowed to say they're going to kill people, they're only allowed to actually kill people.
SCOTUS says POTUS has immunity for official acts. If he issues an EO to "kill you". It's no problem.
You can say it. It's legal as long as it's not deemed a legitimate threat. If you disclose specific plans about how you might do so, expect a visit from the FBI.
If a 'visit ' is warranted your already going to jail. Pretty sure that's considered a felony and handled by the Secret Service.
Depends on which president.
In Russia, China, USA, its de facto legal.
And it also depends on which president you made the threat against, and where you are. I'm pretty sure as a US Citizen in the US, I can safely say this:
I'm gonna kill the President of PRC. I have always wanted to, I have a personal grudge his political party, and him being in that party make him my enemy. I really wanna shoot him in the face, and if I had a gun, and he was right in front of me, I'd shoot him until he dead, then reload and keep shooting.
There. I said it. Lol. FBI wouldn't bat an eye since the US and PRC are adversaries right now. I'm gonna wait and see if PRC is gonna send their agents for me.
(I mean unless they settle on some trade deal that ends with deporting US Citizen anti-PRC dissidents? 👀)
“But can the president specify me a civ”

Are you talking about 50 years ago or present date? Pretty sure Trump would get a slap on the hand at most. Besides, he can just point his sycophants in your direction and keep his plausible deniability.
Pretty dumb thing to telegraph.
Enforcement is what matters most, regardless of legality. Especially under fascists, it's selective application.
For what it's worth: you absolutely can say those things. There may be consequences, probably bad ones, but you can definitely say those things.
Republicans can say "trans must go" and it's not seen as a death threat, so I'd say yeah he can.
I think you can say you want to kill the president, in America at least.
You absolutely can. Though the current fucktard in charge might try to stop you.
