I'm going to admit that I'm slowly but surely losing all my ideals of freedom.
Now I want the government to make it illegal to disrespect the flag and the anthem. It can be done only for public figures at big events, not for the regular person.
If a billionaire football player disrespects the anthem, I'd love to see them arrested. Or at least fined a few millions of dollars.
They are using our love of freedom of speech against us. When their speech consists in wanting us dead, we must draw a line at some point.
Not going to downvote: I understand the feeling. Sadly, it is a trap.
It's all too easy to look at the results of overbearing authority that we don't like, and think "what we really need is a different person to have all that control."
It's also easier to accomplish than to restore power to the people.
But no one on earth will govern the way you personally want, except yourself. And we all want a newer King the moment we realize the failings of the new one.
Everybody always wants more new laws, nobody asks why the country worked better with fewer. There's a reason Trump's deregulation was better for the economy than anything in decades. And it isn't just the economy over-legislation has wrecked.
