What you want is an extremely strong federal government - the kind that creates dictatorships.

You are actually typing this today? Imagine if, four years ago when a black president was still in the WH, that president ordered federal police into cities to make arrests against people protesting the possibility of gun control. Remember operation Jade Helm? A bunch of right wingers scared that the scheduled joint forces exercises in Texas could possibly be a government(federal) takeover of Texas in order to take guns away. Even our governor(Texas), in an effort to ease the anxiety of those who believed in this conspiracy, sent the texas guard to "monitor" the activities. A republican friend of mine in the state legislature said most of the educated republicans were laughing about it and felt for the representatives of the heavily populated districts affected. Now, we actually have a wannabe fascist sending armed federal law enforcement into certain cities and the left is up in arms but the right seems okay with for some reason. Can't have it both ways.
