> Imagine the chaos if every city just ignored the laws they don’t like.

Isn't this the entire point of having a separate between federal, state, county, and city laws? States rights and all?

Y'see, this is exactly what I mean: "You may have a problem" was carefully much more neutral than your reaction here.

> Oh yeah the coup where no one brought firearms and the only person shot was a protester?

Multiple individuals connected to Jan 6 were found with guns and ammunition: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol-riot-weapons-deadly-dan... and https://www.npr.org/2021/03/19/977879589/yes-capitol-rioters...

> The cop who shot Ashley Babbit was given “de facto immunity.”

  Video from inside the Capitol building showed her attempting to climb through a broken window outside the House chamber when the officer, who was guarding the entrance from the rioters, fired.
As in, while committing a crime. Not through the *side* window of a car.

> Half the country is outraged that leftists think just because they don’t like immigration law, as it is written and voted for, that it’s okay to obstruct deportations and drive vehicles into innocent ICE officers doing their job.

Read this carefully:

Side. Window.

She (Renne Good) did not, and could not, have been driving the car into the person who shot her through the side window.

Because, and I don't know if this is news to you, cars do not drive sideways.

> If Oklahoma declared itself a sanctuary state from unions and declared it didn’t have to adhere labor law would you agree with their right to do so? If Salt Lake City decided to be a sanctuary for polygamy and underage marriage and started obstructing the FBI when they came in to arrest people would you be cheering?

What about! What about! What about!

The current administration is violating your own constitution. The behaviour of ICE is unlawful within your own rules.

> Imagine the chaos if every city just ignored the laws they don’t like.

I don't need to imagine, it looks like Trump.

> Calling each other facists and nazis is just lazy, inaccurate, and an excuse for elevating oneself over ones political opponents.

There are bronze plaques on the ground in my city dedicated to the victims of fascism. I don't speak for others, but I tell you this myself: Trump has been following the same footsteps as those whose dishonour is memorialised by the names of their victims upon those plaques.
