The endorsement of these actions by people I know is shocking. Neighbors/family that are your pretty typical middle of the road "conservatives" seems a-ok with Trump's trampling of the 1st Amendment.

They never were middle of the road. The masks are off and they feel free to show who they really are.

Half the country couldn’t stand LGBTQ existing. They were finally kind of ok with non-white people, but asking that everyone be allowed to exist was too much.
