Today we have marauding bands of politicians finding a group with money and hate, and they serve them by harassing the cause du jour to propel their career. They have the constitution to protect their minority rights to hate, by which they can, and have stopped, much of our forward progress.
You have to deal with that. They act much like sociopaths, it seems. Absent a political career they might be able to hurt far fewer, but they are where they are.
I get you want no tests, but that ain't gonna be possible in your lifetime, and real people are being hurt by this every day, and to just sit and wish it weren't so is too easy for the comfortable. It isn't protecting you or anyone else, and it won't change the fascist's menu in the slightest.
While folks are sitting around wanting and wishing, these will be doing something that goes at it. I think the second option has a better shot at accomplishing anything, ymmv.
