I should adopt your approach instead and just beg daddy government to protect me from everyone.


As opposed to what?

The only other choices I can identify are to be o.k. with not being protected at all or to allow citizens to protect themselves.

Those are the only two choices left, and we know from recent court cases that the latter is not an option.

So I asked this earlier with no reply from you. What is your solution? Just let people kill each other?

I'd wager you were also against Giuliani's stop and frisk policy in New York which lowered the crime rate.

Progressives are going to defend high crime until they are blue in the face. Chaos and division are the core of their philosophy. This poster knows it, thus the reason why they want more of it.

Just like people know using the military to police Americans is not a function of the federal government?


According to what? The Constitution?

Show me. Link it up.

Remember, Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act. It's perfectly Constitutional.

If he deploys the NG to other places he'll invoke the Insurrection Act. Also perfectly Constitutional.

And here's where the left will not be able to have it both ways. Either we have a gun crime epidemic or we don't. Either we have a situation in America in which gay and trans people are afraid for their lives or we don't. Either we have rampant violence against women or we don't. Either white supremacy is the greatest threat to America we face (as Joetato claimed), or it's not.

If we do, invoking the Insurrection Act is Constitutional and Trump is literally protecting civil rights and saving the country as well as people's safety. If we don't, then shut up about guns. And rape. And assault. And hate crimes. And white supremacy.

So you tell me. Do we have too much crime or not?

And yet, they also claim that white supremacy is the greatest threat the country faces and that gay and trans people are afraid for their lives.

The right needs to start calling them on trying to have it both ways.

I love this take from our small government conservatives
Actually that's the truth. The idiots who forced violent crime on society are big govt, nanny state socialists who want the govt to decide for everyone how to live and suppress dissenting voices

That forced the hand of the small govt people to react so that society could recover for commerce, infrastructure, etc. The cities are crumbling which is bad for business

But I doubt you'll understand that

Unless you want the federal government to deploy military police against Americans, you Love murder
When progressive policies are destroying the cities they are in control of, yep. You nailed it

The president who actually invoked an insurrection will fake insurrections across the country in order to abuse the Constitution?

I voted for this! WINNING! THIS is what finally having a limited federal government looks like, amirite?

That was an impressive emotional melt.

Now, are you going to answer any of the questions I asked you?

BTW, nobody who voted for Trump thought they were voting for a small government conservative.

Say what you want about Trump, but he's never hidden that he is a populist. He wallows in his populism and wears it proudly like a hog wears mud, in fact.

I don't care for populism, but the left offers no viable alternative. I don't especially care for the occupation we're discussing—I wish the left would not act insane and would do their jobs—but they have very clearly signaled that they want to put the law abiding citizens in prison and allow the criminals to roam free.

I'll ask again (not that I think you'll answer), what is your solution?

What do you propose we do?

Do you believe the president has the authority to control every aspect of America? Yes or no.

Would you approve of Joe Biden sending troops to your hometown to protect you? If this would have happened 2 years ago, you would have given Biden the same glowing appreciation? You would endorse Obama sending the military to your hometown to protect you? Yes or no.

How is this relevant? We have a litter problem but the president isn’t deploying anyone to pick up litter. Why not?

I looked at your link and there's nothing in there that prohibits what Trump is doing.

As for the rest, I'll answer some of your questions when you answer some of mine.

Until then, I'm not going to keep responding in good faith while you reply in bad faith. And yes, ignoring clarifying questions while just deflecting is responding in bad faith.

So we can drop the “I’m a small government conservative” bullshite here? It’s abundantly clear there are very few posters who actually want a limited federal government. They just want the other team punished so they can feel like they’re better than their fellow Americans.


Btw calling responses you dislike as “bad faith” is fine but it’s dishonest. You are frustrated that I won’t adhered to you warped interpretation of the function of the federal government so you’re calling my responses “bad faith.”
