If you don’t distinguish between the unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government and the state/local governments which are run by the people of those localities (so far, until the feds take over), then you may unwittingly be part of the problem of acquiescing to the overthrow of our Constitution and the freedoms it protects. Giving the feds power over the states, outside of the limited exceptions specified in the Constitution, is doing just that.
Government at all levels is out of control. The Constitution and Bill of Rights lists our inalienable rights. All levels of government have trod upon them, ALL government.
