The government exists almost solely for the formation of a collective defense, originally what would become "police" and their equivalents was the mechanism, a core of trained professionals a new army could be formed around thanks to the 2nd amendment. At least that's what I got reading the federalist papers. We didn't even decide to fully create a real standing military until pirates were enslaving our ships, the only remnants was a mostly ceremonial/emergency 2 or 3 regiments.
Yeah really mental gymnastics. Basic emergency services and police force are small government. When I say I want small government it means I want what’s necessary. Police is necessary. An inclusion and diversity committee is not. Nor is paying for tranny therapy sessions.
Good lord those comments were poison. “Drumpf fans want small government and low taxes but also want the police to stop protests”
wtf how are those contradictory values. I want limited government but I want daggum law and order

The government has limited duties and one of them is providing for the common defense, and enforcing the law.

EMT/Fire services are still volunteer in a lot of places in the country.
You're using bourgeoisie logic and (as per Marx) ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
Apparently the Second Amendment protects drive-by shootings.
Did I read that right?
Those people probably think the Bill of Rights is racist, idk how you could have a real conversation with them
