The war, in my mind, has shifted to battling opportunistic authoritarian actions by our government. The real question is; how much freedom, exactly, are you willing to sacrifice for the security that's being promised?
Also, the constitution specifically gives the federal government almost unlimited power over the ports of entry to this country. If you are speaking about the checkpoints 50-100 miles inland that ICE used to do (is doing?), then no, I'm not for it and I have never been for it. Ports of entry, yes, a 100 mile zone around the nation's borders? No.
Trump is the best hope we got against opportunistic authoritarian actions but if there's 2.2mn dead, every ad till Nov will be about the 2.2mn dead cos of 'Trump'.
So if you cherish your freedom and wanna help Trump, this is the way
I want everyone to be tougher, not just you. I want this country to stop fearing death, not just you, me or my mom.
Having Trump in office right now is great, but what happens when it's another president and we see a catastrophe like this? Fear of death is what gave the governor of LA, the mayor of New Orleans and the president of this country, George Bush, the tacit permission to send police, Coast Guardsmen and National Guardsmen to go door to door in and around the city of New Orleans confiscating guns, despite what the constitution has to say about it.
How many excuses are we willing to give before it stops? Or, does it never stop?
We're not in that phase where we start shooting people. We can still vote ourselves out of this mess
