So, a government with the amount of power that we collectively decided would be appropriate?

No. A government that was actually restrained to the limits of the Constitution would be appropriate

The meme says the government is following the power level set by the people.

It was set...in the Constitution, its our job to hold the Government to that

Yeah, and then we took a vote on it and as per the Constitution we elected this Congress and for some reason this weirdo President. So that's how it's supposed to work.

Yes, that's how elections work, but there is more to the Constitution and it's limitations on Government than just elections. It requires continual vigilance on our behalf.

Reading the OP again, according to it, it still seems like that's exactly what we're doing.

Really? With people being arrested for not wearing cloth masks? Or fishing alone? Yeah, we are doing a great job

Quote: "Stephen Breza, 70, first entered a Wawa store shortly before 11 a.m. and “allegedly started screaming, flailing his arms, and cursing at employees” when he was told to wear a mask, according to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office."

Oh, yeah! The Founding Fathers meant for him to be left to it.

For f**k's sake, do you have a specific case you're referring to? There was an incident in Philadelphia but that man was not arrested nor even cited which would make you misrepresenting what happened.

The man in Philadelphia was FORCIBLY REMOVED by cops. That's government overreach, you ignorant illiterate douchebag

There a public nuisance laws...that's not the same as pulling people off buses for not wearing a useless cloth mask

Don't bother responding to this fellow, jplowry777. People like him won't worry about government overreach until it effects him directly.

Yeah, it's almost like it was misreported just to get on y'all's confirmation bias circle jerk.
