Rhetoric crosses criminal line

I have no problem with free speech, even weird beliefs such as lasers from Israel, fraudulent elections, staged killings and so on.
However, I wonder what would happen to me if I posted on social media that we need to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by assassination or a bullet to her head. I can bet you I would have many visits from agents from the FBI, Homeland Security and/or the CIA. I might even be arrested.
This, in my opinion, is not free speech. With all of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green’s loony conspiracy posts, the call to assassinate a fellow representative is a criminal act. It would appear she belongs in a mental institution. Oh, wait, she is possibly already in one.
