You and fantana and Ana seem to think Madison and others seemingly conceptualized such outrageous, specific behavior 235 years ago. They did not.
You also seem to think Iām against it. Iām not, really - I think they are idiots like most of you, but do not care theyāre able to protest, within reason. I vehemently disagree with those critical of Abbott and Hartzell, but that is another discussion.
Authors of FA most certainly did not contemplate burning flags, protests celebrating an enemy of our state and openly discussing burning down our society. I am not opining whatsoever of what Madisonās opinion would have been if such protests. Iām simply saying such scenarios were not in his mind. He was trying to protect much less exhibionist, less shocking, reasonable gripes.
I repeat, there are zero worthy protests in my lifetime, save for some LG protests in the late 70s when I was barely alive. Before that, Vietnam and Civil Rights protests of the 60s and Suffrage of the 10s. That is it from the last 124 years. Everything else is nonsense.
