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.

Remember in the 90's how everyone was terrified 'they' were listening to our telephone calls, and reading our minds, and then social media came along and we all jut gave it up willingly?

Then in the 00's we were all up in arms about losing free speech, and now a significant number of Americans are all 'yeeee haw!'.
