In the wake of George Floyd protests in 2020, Republican state legislatures across the nation passed laws cracking down on lawful assembly. Many of those new laws were aimed at giving sweeping new immunities to drivers who, intentionally or not, strike protesters with their vehicles.
Those whose vision of “saving America” involves committing acts of violence against people exercising their First Amendment rights are not interested in preserving the constitution or the rule of law. They have a very different, very dark vision for the future of this country.
