I don't know if I should bother to point it out or if it's supposed to be funnier not to, but if you don't believe that the federal government should exist... Not wanting a federal law against something doesn't mean that you want people to do that thing.

The inability of so many people to differentiate those things makes me feel like I'm in a world of unthinking NPCs that can't really consider anything and are simply filling in their responses the way a chat bot does, seemingly coherent most of the time, but lacking a real understanding of what they are commenting on.

Or do they all on some level get it and realize your being trolled, but just want to hate on people they disagree with so much that feigning ignorance so they have the excuse is more appealing.

edit: It occurs to me that things like this are a sort of ink blot test. You say a thing that by it'self doesn't really tell you that much, but could be taken to mean a lot of very different things then wait and see how people respond, where does their mind take it.

You don't get to say you're for protecting someone while stripping away the very foundations of the structure that actually protects them.

I'm not sure how a snarky comment does that. Or do you think there not being a federal government would somehow do that. As if states don't have laws covering the same thing? How often does that sort of thing even go to a federal court?
