Ironic part is the Democrats are generally for more Government involvement, and as you can plainly see involving Government agencies right away has its downside.

WilyRickWiles replies on Jul 26, 2020:

I mean, the left is for more social spending and less use of force. The right is for less social spending and more use of force. The right's dogma of "states' rights" has always been hypocritical. It is rooted in fugitive slave laws that preempted state and local laws. It is difficult for states to manage any type of long-term social changes because they don't have their own currencies.
