While I agree, let's not pretend that presidents haven't been launching combat missions without formal declaration of war for decades. Longer than I've been alive. It's one of the biggest expansions of executive power we have allowed, under the guise of "the war on terror", "the cold war", or even "the war on drugs".

Having grown up in a redneck community, I'm quite confident Trump supporters can at least make a functional pipe bomb.

Goes back before Reagan, even. Look at Nixon. His pardon from Ford started the trend that the president was above the law.
