Auron MacIntyre

And so that's the problem is it was designed that way.

You were supposed to be able to throw a spanner in the works.

But when you like you say, when that no longer becomes an issue of good faith, when people are actively and maliciously using the legal system to skew those politics, all of a sudden that federalism is a problem.

Same thing when it comes down to states' rights when you're removing immigration, right?

Like, ultimately, yes, you should have federalism.

They should have control over their law enforcement.

But when they're actively choosing to allow violence in their state, when they're targeting Republicans, targeting conservatives, targeting churches, and they're just allowing violence to happen, can you really allow them to continue to operate?

And this is the problem.

No law will actually bind bad actors.

Laws are only for people who are living and working together in a society together.

The minute you have people maliciously working to undermine that trust, you can write all the laws you want and they're never going to matter.

It's never rule of law.

It's always rule of people.

I am not a fan of democracy.

So to the extent that I think we have to continue to fight that because it is the way that we legitimize our rulers today.

We have to fight for every inch and every advantage inside that system.

But I think democracy is largely dead.

I don't think we're going to get an actual mandate from the people anymore.

I think it's all about pushing and pulling numbers, manipulating zones, controlling machine voting.

But the idea that we're going to have some Mr. Smith goes to Washington nationwide debate on issues anymore is a joke.
