alt Hacker NewsWhat do you think about all the things going on under the current US administration which include but are not limited to: flag burning ban[0], retribution against law firms for supporting opponents of the admin[1], antifa being designated a terrorist organization[2], deportation of anti-Israel protesters[3], threatening broadcast licenses[4], or suing pollsters because he didn't like the results[5]?
We're equating these government actions to lefties being mean on twitter and cancel culture?

The president is a person and can make whatever proclamations he wants. Sometimes people will even do what he says! But the way the system works is:
- orange man makes dumb obviously unconstitutional proclamation about flag burning
- most likely nobody does anything about it, but if someone does there is a law suit
- the courts are like 'lol no'
- back to status quo ante
