Agreed. I do not advocate what any of those groups do, but this is a huge blow to free speech in the nation. Now, you only have the freedom to say what protesters or the government WANTS you to say. It is plain and simple.
A lack of power is going to hurt it one way or the other.
The power has to be reacquired FIRST and NOT by political means but by spiritual means. God is waiting to see if we will humble ourselves before Him and confess that yes, our politics failed. Then, what won’t fail, a release of the blessing spirit of God, will ensue.
