There are few things I like about being an American, but one of them is the first amendment. It doesn’t always work, and Trump is sure to try some shit like this soon, but at least I know for now I won’t go to prison for saying that I do indeed support Palestine Action
You could absolutely go to prison for it. A group of people in an unmarked van can grab you, send you to a prison in your country or even somewhere else, where you will be tortured possibly to death, and even if there will be an international fuss about it, nobody will ever do anything about it.
There is no more laws in your country, none.

I could, because our rights are not bulletproof. That said, it’s not a given that I will go to jail for being against genocide
It’s not given in the UK either. At least they still have the ability to challenge that.
Do they have jury trials in the UK? This seems like a perfect use of jury nullification.
As long they can send people to torture prisons without due process or evidence, we do NOT have a First Amendment.
Or a 5th or 14th amendment
