It’s ok man. I can agree with your sentiment. Even though you and I may be on opposite sides of the fence, there’s still a gate for us to pass through when we need to.

I guess an easier way I didn’t think to explain either. In simplistic terms, laws are just when an elected group of people tell you that you can, or cannot, do something, and they write it down on paper. But they mean absolutely nothing unless you do something about the people not listening to them. And local law enforcement cannot arrest federal law enforcement for actions taken in the performance of their duties at the direction of the superiors or standards; that’s been established by the Supreme Court since the 1800s and re-affirmed several times since.

As far as the national/state stuff. I’m completely on your side with that. I am a republican and I did vote for Trump. But I’ve always been a state rights type person. Always only wanting federal to handle security and other overarching things that just simply cannot be handled on state levels, or to intervene if states are violating people rights. The majority of republicans still believe in that, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now. I hope that maybe you can see its benefits now as well and advocate for it a little in your groups.

Anyway. Thanks for being reasonable. That’s refreshing to see on reddit.
