True, Graham. The framers of our Constitution, particularly James Madison tried to prevent this with the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibit8ing the free exercise thereof; or bridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right f the people to peacefully assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This was specifically in opposition to European and especially British kingdoms of the period late 17th early 19th centuries. But today a little over 249 years later our own government id specifically abrogating that amendment. They want to enforce their version of fundamentalism on all Americans, end all freedom of speech and all public gatherings except those in praise of trump.
