Guarding is not being done, their oaths and paychecks aside. All of us, I think, can agree on that. In theory yes that is what it should be, but in practice something somewhere is broken down. Whatever and wherever that is, the point is is that it is not working. Toppling and vandalism keeps happening.
Which brings us back to conservative protesters. We know protesting works, it works every time conservatives do it.(at least in large enough numbers) So why refuse to do something successful in the face of something that is clearly not working? That’s what I don’t understand.
Conservative resistance such as occurred in Idaho over the weekend DOES work. Any other, maybe. Here’s the link to the Couer d’Alene standoff.
