You are absolutely right, nobody has a spine anymore.  It is becoming clear that these ridiculous laws are aimed at eliciting some sort of response.  IMO a civil war is being planned, the commies have weakened our nation by offshoring our manufacturing, destroying our economy, destroying the nuclear family, poisoning the well with homosexuality and transgenderism, eliminating God from our culture, etc.  the list goes on and on.  Apparently POTUS is reversing that trend (if this all isn’t just political theater, I’m still not sure).  So the commies have one last chance.  All faith in the political process has eroded, it doesn’t matter who wins the next election, the other side will feel disenfranchised and that they have no other recourse but violence.  The civil war is coming, but we are so apathetic that we will have to be prodded into action.  These draconian laws and the next election will be the catalyst.  When it happens (next November) our enemies will be taking advantage of that situation - a nation divided against itself cannot stand.  It will be a dangerous time for this nation.  We have already thrown God out of our society and culture.  Judgment is coming, there is no escaping that fact.  We have become as Sodom and Gomorrah and our sins have reached to heaven and God must judge our sin.  However, perhaps God’s judgment will be stayed for a period of time.  I pray that God will use POTUS to usher in a period of repentance and righteousness, that POTUS will become the King Josiah of our time.  God have mercy upon us...
