This is some serious, outdated 1990s right-wing black helicopters rhetoric. I mean, it's exactly the same thing. "Dose big bad feds are commin ta take us away! WHARRRRRRGARBL!!"

When, in fact, those people were a danger to the entire United States and had to be dealt with. Local authorities aren't doing their job and are in a state of insurrection. The federal government is the supreme power of the land. When there is no effective control, that's an insurrection. Don't make the government do what it had to do the last time you rebels tried your shit. You got fucking wrecked. You Democrats got your plantations burned down and your slaves taken away.

Lmao, this exemplifies what's wrong with hyperpartisan identity politics today. Divide and conquer is so effective that some people worship authoritarianism as long as it's being used against their political opponents.

Negative. This silly "black helicopters/black vans/DA GUMMINT IS GONNA GIT ME!!" rhetoric is idiotic no matter who it comes from.

The federal government are the good guys. It's the state and local governments that are run by the uneducated and provincial deplorables. Federal government is staffed by people who went to good universities and have advanced degrees. Whom do you trust more, the educated or the stupids? It's the smart people who have to step in and set things to rights when morons can't control themselves, or are deluded by Russian propaganda designed to make us fight with one another.

The adults are taking away your toys, and you're going to have to go into timeout until you can tell everyone what you did wrong.
