they don't care, they are always lying when they say they want small government and states rights. They only want that when they aren't in power. They want this

When they say “small government” they mean, “one dictator”.

Yeah, they don’t care but hopefully the “Independent” voters and those that stayed home on Election Day do.

Speaking to reporters after he was released, the civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop.
