This is where we are in this country; proclaim yourself a sanctuary city, you have noble views and are a hero for standing up to the man. Refuse on religious grounds to sign a marriage license for a gay couple and a federal judge will throw your ass in jail.
Stop a private company from building a perfectly legal pipeline using violence and intimidation, the government will force the company to stop construction; occupy a vacant federal building in peaceful protest against the government and the government will ambush you on the side of the road, kill those they can get away with, and prosecute the rest to the fullest extent of the law.
Yep.
Keep your powder dry!
