That’s rich coming from you, especially after your flag-humping session that started with this:
Or maybe you want a strongman who will protect you until they don’t.
The crumbling and neglected infrastructure and decaying social institutions of Freedomland are cool and good and no worse than the evil See See Pee because something something federalism and how that’s totally working out great promise guys for real guys
I was mentioning it in the context of the USA. I’ve been bringing up Trump as an example of a person in charge of the federal government who didn’t respond to requests from states for aid.

Claiming that the federal/central government should by default rely, especially in the context of the crumbling and eroding infrastructural and social conditions of the United States, on alienated and isolated first responses from counties or townships or whatever is left in impoverished parts of the country is idealistic nonsense that ignores the actual conditions of those places.
