That’s exactly what it is. The left and these people “outraged” are either stupid, lying, or have been lied to, about what the law is and its purpose. It’s as simple as that - and the press is going right along with it to misinform those they are entrusted with informing to further their agenda.
Well, the fact that few people in the United States are willing to actually read for themselves is the biggest problem, even bigger than the left, because it’s easy to believe them when you haven’t actually read it and wonder WTH the celebrities and news media are actually talking about. Even in my schooling, newspaper and news websites are not a neccessarily a golden primary source for research purposes when it comes to history, even the newspapers need confirmation and cross-checking.
