As all through history. None of this affected my family. I can't do anything about what others think other than speak my mind. I do not advocate violence or the threat thereof to attempt to do so.
My grown children never thought anything was OK because someone else said so. Whether or not they were pop figures or government employees. If they started down that road, we disabused them of the idea. They have turned out fine. And I am confident their children will also.
No man is an island. What you tolerate has an impact on you, or your children, or your children's children's children. You may not have connected the dots on how, for example, free love has impacted your family, but it is there.
Government's purpose (as stated by the Bible, not by the DoI) is to restrain evil. If it can not do that (and I'll agree with you that many have perpetrated evil) then it can not protect rights.
Shalom.
