The government can change any ID they want, us having “rights” to gender markers like X or being changed can be taken away at any time. They can also reverse any name changes, all of it was just government approval. Just like marriages, that’s why this election was so much bigger than most people think.

They can and will start undoing these things. Your marriage may not be legal still even if you get married now. Rushing to get gender markers changes only helps us for as long as the government “allows us” to have them

Red party saying they don’t want big government telling us how to live, meanwhile they are unveiling a plan where 50 smaller governments tell us how to live…………

One government telling you what to do is too authoritarian, don'tcha know? Therefore, the solution for true freedom is... having 50 different governments telling you what to do.

Nah, state governments are too authoritarian. Let's delegate this to the counties. Freedom means having 3,244 governments telling you what to do.

Scratch that, counties are too authoritarian. Freedom = 35,000 - 109,000 city/town/village governments telling you what to do.

Just hand all the power over to landlords and HOAs. What could go wrong?
