Your post reminds of the scene in “Amadeus” where the stage dancers were dancing but here was no music. It was ridiculous and absurd.

I guess we can’t watch movies like Glory anymore where the Rebs win the battle.
About 20 years ago I predicted a revolution about this time with the hope that when it’s over, we start over again with the same constitution.

Forget the uniforms.
I was by the local firearms and ammo store today. They were mobbed. They’re crowded on weekends but it’s never like this on a weekday.

I think people are ready to go out and buy uniforms. Some people are ready to march.
I've thought for years about getting into Civil War reenacting. This may be what spurs me to do it. I'll wear blue (that's my heritage), but will always keep this in mind:

Read another article here on FR today where Amazon said they were told by the Federal Govt. to stop selling Confederate items.
Guess the 1st Amendment means nothing to this regime.
