Do we need to change the old saying "I might not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it to my dying breath". to "Shut your mouth you can't say that". And then who defines what's out of bounds.

No, we don't need to change it.
Years ago in Calgary, there was a march against Stephane Dion's "Green Shift" and it had a positive impact.
There were thousands of people marching against Trump after he was elected, and there was no problem there.
There needs to be this mechanism to express displeasure in a civilized and responsible yet demonstrable way. If not, it becomes like communist Russia or China - if you speak out against the government then off with your head.
