Incitement has been a limited carve-out from the First Amendment pretty much from the beginning. Stating a political view is different from threatening your opponents with violence.

The current standard is "imminent lawless action" which is a pretty high bar. Incitement in many cases does not meet that bar.

Well, perhaps that should be revisited, given that there's history and precedent.
