To me the obvious parallel would be the Bonus March of 1932.
Hoover sent MacArthur to clear it out and we got FDR.
Nothing the good folks in Idaho love more than well armed Muslims living down the street.

Protest is patriotic.
So cheap AND easy.

So Bad Bunny an American born in America is not All American enough, but The Who, a band 100% made up of foreign citizens born in another country (That we fought in TWO wars) were fine?
I am sure there is something I'm missing. It's white on the tip of my tongue.
I've worked in museums that were haunted by spirits of funders. Controversial works of art and artifacts disappearing without a peep, label text altered to match a funder's ideology, names of eminent scientists replaced with names of corporations and billionaires on walls. It's all very spooky.

That's been true since long before Trump came along. Americans like it that way as far as I can tell.

Remember when GOP Governors thought sending federal troops uninvited into states was a bad idea?
At some point "Don't Tread on Me" became "I'm treading as hard as I can."
