My friend, Carol, once suggested we will not have needed political change until people are beating pots and pans on the street corners. That was her metaphor for no change will take place until the people protest in revolt -- think Boston Tea Party.
According to this article, the red states are shoring up their laws so this revolt can't happen. No way would I suggest illegal actions, but, legal, non-violent protests cannot be legislated out of existence in the US. States' legislating against free speech is surely unconstitutional and their laws should be struck down. These red state bullies just keep pushing until Carol's revolt will take place. That is if it's not illegal by then to beat pots and pans on the street corners.
Maybe we should be collecting our wooden spoons and pots and pans on the corners right now.
