No Kings 2.0

[Vermilion]

The other member you responded to and myself both said slimming down of the federal government, and expanding state governance.

That's not an extremist or new sentiment in this country.

He actually said this…

“ I would much rather instead of slimming down, just get rid of it and let the states govern themselves.
Fuck big government”

Touche, I misread that.

Shall we put this in perspective population wise? The attendence for this protest was less then 1/4 of 1% of the total population of the USA. Reported as over 7 million nation wide of 340 million total population.

Ah.  So, hand wave it away?

Sorry, I got the two confused.

I am for a smaller federal government but it cannot be eliminated without causing even worse problems. 

Wars between states. Other nations taking over states because they are no longer able to defend themselves. 

But why is the federal government involved in saying what showerhead you can purchase? Just one small example.

I had misread the part about slimming from them. Speed reading got me.

So, now you are proposing state to state warfare instead of the current USA government? That is what you are describing.

I had rather not have that as I live near a corner of my state and would be involved in any conflict with two other states. I also like being able to visit those two states occasionally and have friends in both. 

You don't seem to have thought this through.

I am most certainly not in support of warfare of any kind. But if the states had just been governing themselves then maybe we wouldn't be in the position we are in now. People could just find a place to live that better fits their respective needs and wants. Instead what we have now is whatever flavor of the administration wants is what we all get or else shit gets weird.
I am a true libertarian through and through so maybe that will clear up any confusion I may have put out.

That 7 million number is a media made exaggeration.

“The protest was a success!”

It turns out fictitious problems are easy to solve.

No Kings can say the endeavor was successful since the president was, in fact, not crowned king of America.

Well done geriatric boomers.

Maybe they should spend their Saturdays with their grandkids.

Right.  So the protestors can all be dismissed as 'geriatrics"?


How old is Trump?
