Local elections are not the problem in relation to hard liners. Hard liners at the local level would not be able to start a popular uprising on a broad base. Part of the local problems (if not the majority) is weak leadership at local levels, not standing up to the leveral leftist assholes that want to riot, burn and set up autonomous zones, where they do not have to answer to authority.What if the Repubs screw over their voters again and somehow somewhere real hard liners start running for office in local elections to start? Ones who will push back and use violence if necessary? Is it possible? Perhaps not.
We have had none of that here, or anywhere else across our state, because local and state leaders didn't go along with allowing it. They didn't "just say NO". They said "Hell NO", meant it, and we have the use of overwhelming armed and equipped response in the last 50 years, to civil disturbance. It is still in the memory. Nobody was dumb enough to push it. That is the kind of leadership necessary in these "lets all protest, riot, and burn" time. Otherwise, you get like cities in Oregon, Washington and Minnesota where the rabble takes to the streets and local leaders are stupid enough to think, give it time, they'll get tired and go away, but by the time the do, innocent business have been burned, looted and life for the majority of citizens have been disrupted for the radical few.
