    It’s 100% true. The safety of your local streets, housing costs, education, availability of food and clean water, even parking enforcement, all of these are decided by your city, county, township, or state. The executive branch of the federal government has almost no control over people’s daily lives.

    National guard: Little Rock Central High School and the Kent State Massacre were two notable cases where states deployed the national guard to terrorize civilians. In the late 60s Delaware deployed the national guard to Wilmington for nine months. I strongly encourage you to learn the history of what guardsmen have done in your state.

    Now, please talk to me like an adult speaks to another adult or don’t reply.

      Condescension always helps when you started the conversation saying wrong things. Outliers do not mean much here. Things are bad. I won’t pretend they aren’t.

      Now, be extremely uncivil to me because that’s what happens on the Internet.
