8. An Act full of puritanical nonsense long ruled unconstitutional for the most part.

There we were, winning lawsuit after lawsuit across the country over the years eliminating idiotic restrictions on speech, books, sex, dress in schools, on and on it went and the country sure looked to be moving in a more and more progressive manner right up until 2016...

...and we found out that even though most people embraced a liberal agenda and voted a woman into the White House, apparently large numbers of our countrymen were repressed, angry, poorly educated and hateful people who considered themselves the only "true Americans", jealous of other's success as they watched Asians and other minorities pass them up and earn more than they ever would but which required discipline and higher education.

Those people were the hated "elites" that Donald Trump, an elitist New York Yankee ironically enough, hated just like them.
