Again, I get your point, which is a good one.

But what is the “straw that breaks the camel’s back?” Was it the last grievance or was it the number of grievances that broght our forefathers to the point of saying, “Enough already”? The last grievance doesn’t have to be the worst. The accumulation over time can be enough.

Good points. The abuses are coming fast and furious now, it seems every week. Roe was a massive blow to freedom and state autonomy, but it was still offset by a culture of then-relative conservatism as the mainstream.

The cup of imposed iniquity is almost full and overflowing.

Your straw that breaks the camel’s back is good point too. History can definitely be less than logical at times for sure, looking back at what triggered what events and why.
