Right-wing pundit Dick Morris was speaking from what appeared to be a living room as the man strolled through.
So close to being great, but that “decision of the community” threw it all off. Why is it up to the community to restrict individual liberty?
Seems in line with some of the more “grounded” conservative opinions on how the Federal government and the states should run things tbh. We may disagree with them but it’s not downright stupid or anti democratic at least…

There is no well reasoned principal backing these beliefs. It’s merely a facade of justification put on top of preferences.
