The second Civil War starts with a few hundred national guard personnel moving to states and cities controlled by the political opposition of the incumbant government—especially when the incumbant is thoughtless, self-absorbed, authoritarian, and the worse kind of predator.

Does anyone remember the Texas v. Johnson #SCOTUS case? If you don't, then you may wish to look it up. It decided that U.S. flag burning was covered as constitutionally protected speech. In 1989, the decision was made by a 5-4 SCOTUS majority. Flag burning constitutes symbolic speech that is protected by the First Amendment.

Guess what? The new Exec order wants the new SCOTUS pets to overturn this decision.

@ppatel The new executive order is just posturing like everything else this President does

@volkris Except that not everything they do is posturing.

@volkris @ppatel It gives license to the worst people to behave in the worst ways, as we will see/are seeing play out.
