The US must not increase the laws to repress protests. Instead it should start using its existing powers adequately against right-wing extremists and stop overusing them against nonviolent leftists.

Many states are passing laws for repression of nonviolent protest action against dangerous business activities, and thugs tend to be extra harsh against all left-wing protests. Compare that with the friendliness of thugs with the Kenosha killer, Rittenhouse, and the Capitol Police leaders' betrayal of their mission on Jan 6.
