Yep.
There is a segment of Americans who still don't understand the concept behind why flag burning is protected under the 1st Amendment. People in my own family think it should be outlawed and no matter how many times I've told them that it's about free speech and expression, they just don't give a shit.
Trump's shocking anti-free speech stances were really what should have done him in. That is, in an America where people actually understood the threat he represents to First Amendment freedoms, he would have been summarily shitcanned and a humorous memory at this point.
And as usual, the irony is that the conservative who yodel out their ass about "The Constitooshun" are the ones who would scrap it if they had the chance. Not that they would understand they were scrapping it. Hopefully all of this will represent a klaxon-like wake up call for people to actually pay attention to what candidates say and think about the implications of those words.
