If the UK was the 51st state, their per capita GDP would be the lowest of all other states. Even Alabama and Mississippi has a higher per capita GDP than the UK.

No one seems to want to bite on the fact that there’s government regulated online speech in the UK. Would you be confortable with that in the US? Can you imagine Trump saying any criticism of him is illegal since it’s inciting political violence? I can, very easily, which is why I have a hard red line about governments regulating online speech.

Wrong - we have a 1st amendment, he can’t say that any criticism of him is illegal. Any arrests made under that authority would be found unconstitutional by courts. If this was the UK he could do that and arrest all of us here on yikyak. Your false equivalencies are demonstrably false.
