The real world works differently than what we would like to see happen.
People follow orders. If not, you’d have never had millions of people being exterminated by Nazis, communists, and other socialists.
There will be pain, either way.
Of course. And if these laws are passed and they go forward with enforcement there will be some cops and Sheriff’s that will do what they’re being asked to do.
Then again, as we’re already seeing there will be many who won’t. Look what happened in New Orleans. NOPD started walking off the job. And of course, two Democrats, Nagin and Blanco, asked for help, received it and Bush was too incompetent to see what was going there and didn’t stop it. She’s dead and he went to prison.
But, I think it’s quite the stretch to compare what the German’s, Russian’s, Chinese, and Cambodians did to what a Virginia National Guard soldier might do. Those troops had to worry about their families, if they had one, being executed if they didn’t follow orders. Those folks grew up in Socialist, Totalitarian regimes. Not the USA. I don’t see that being the case in the Commonwealth.
But yes, there will be pain.
This is about as teachable a moment as one can get for what would have been in store for the country had she won. And what will be in store for the country if he isn’t re-elected.
