Once you become part of trumpworld things change. Positions you took in the not so distant past are easily reversed when the regime you're part of does something you previously opposed. "Direct attacks on states' rights" all of a sudden are not. As if by magic. Cuz the sovereignty of a blue state that did not vote for trump is not be be respected. So say the defenders of all things trump.
Guess what else is not to be respected. The right to protest. Especially if it's against a $340M military parade on Don's birthday. The kind autocrats have for themselves.
Trump warns that military parade protesters will face 'very heavy force'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that anyone who protests at the U.S. military parade here on Saturday will be met with "very heavy force."
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that they're going to be "celebrating big on Saturday," referring to the parade that will wind its way through downtown Washington, D.C.
"If there’s any protester that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force," Trump said. "I haven’t even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force."

The right to peacefully protest is protected by the 1st A. But in Don's view, such protections should only be afforded to those who he sees as being on his side. He conflates disdain for him with hatred of the country. The two are miles apart. He forgets he is only a temporary steward of this nation. One can simultaneously love this country while recognizing the uniquely existential threat he poses to it.
Here's hoping thousands of protesters show up in DC on Saturday. They are allowed to yell, and carry signs, and express their opposition to trump in ways that will anger him. If he doesn't like that, tough shit. This is still America for as long as we can hold on to it.
And? More evidence trump is in the right. huh?
