The line is drawn where an actual crime is committed.
I'm not really a fan of pre-crime control measures, but that's a personal opinion.
This isn't even a "both sides" thing, because I'm pretty sure there isn't any actual equivalent of the attack on Scalise but on the other side. It stands almost entirely alone in recent US political history, a uniquely awful example of America's political polarisation turning into a justification for violence and attempted assassination that came incredibly close to succeeding. (Also, I would be shocked if one of the things that radicalized the attacker wasn't false claims of presidential election rigging, just because they were so utterly pervasive on social media amongst people with his political affiliation back then.)
All the mainstream American media narratives about the dangers of political violence have nothing to do with actual political violence. It's a weapon they use against the political side they oppose and stop caring about or even become apologists for when the side they support is carrying out the violence.
Sure, believing any conspiracy theory is not a justification for breaking the law.
> If so, where do you propose the line exists?
The line is already clearly defined by the law. Ranting on Facebook about conspiracies (true or not) is legal. Nonviolent protests are legal. Storming the Capitol obviously isn't.
If so, where do you propose the line exists?
If not, I would suggest you're advocating that the "loudest" voice (where volume is measured by firepower) always gets their way.
