The loss of legitmacy
A buddy of mine sent me this Tweet from Adam Carolla:
You want to put a patio on your own home it's months of permit bullshit. Want to take down a statue? Just bring your skateboard, some rope and a couple friends. No problemo.

Does anybody in government realize how much legitimacy they have lost?
It has become crystal clear that enforcement of the law it totally subjective and entirely dependent on the politics of lawbreakers and politicians in charge.
Crystal clear like never before.
Radical Leftist anarchists have free reign to destroy whatever government property they want and will be released with all charges dropped.
If you get caught using the wrong nozzle on your gas can or your flash hider is non properly pinned and welded to your barrel the Federal Government will fuck your day up.
We still obey the law because we have been conditioned to. We still fear the consequences.
I wonder what will happen when every statue is toppled while law enforcement does nothing at the behest of politicians.
What will the government do when millions of regular American small business owners say:
“I’m serving all the booze I want without a liquor license and I’m not paying my taxes or fees, and your health inspector isn’t allowed in. You can eat my asshole and fuck off way over there, this storefront is my Autonomous Zone.”
