The trouble, I think, isn't that the left is worried about government power. It's that they're infatuated with its potential to dole out all sorts of entitlements and welfare. It's not so much that you won't want it to have the ability to limit protests, it's just that you want to make sure your guys are in charge first and that they're limiting protests you dislike. >I’m really exhausted with this sovereign citizen crap, I couldn't ask for a better example of my assertion above. For the moment, ignore their lunatic legal theories (rarely can one win cases in court by insulting judges and dismissing their powers to adjudicate). Their sentiment, at least, should be something you're sympathetic for. These aren't people who are disposing of liquid mercury in the local river or selling children to the coal mine as slaves. They're goofballs who want to drive down the road with their own homemade license plate. Rarely, if ever, do you read a story where they're doing something dangerous or harmful. Instead, it's always about them flaunting an attitude that the government shouldn't have power over them in the mundane activities of daily life. Despite that, they're among the most-hated of outgroups among the left. Why? Because when the fringe left is in charge, someday in the near future, it will be just as embarrassing to them that the sovereign citizens give them no respect as it is currently to the not-leftist-enoughs in charge now.
