Again, no. Patriots want to change the direction of the United States back to the original Constitution. BLM and Antifa want to burn the Constitution.Nope. They are hard core Marxist wanting to overthrow our whole way of life. Patriots love the Constitution and simply want to restore power back to the people." John Locke wrote in his Two Treaties on Government that people have rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and property, that have a foundation independent of the laws of any particular society. Locke used the claim that men are naturally free and equal as part of the justification for understanding legitimate political government as the result of a social contract where people in the state of nature conditionally transfer some of their rights to the government in order to better ensure the stable, comfortable enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property. Since governments exist by the consent of the people in order to protect the rights of the people and promote the public good, governments that fail to do so can be resisted and replaced with new governments."

What we saw at the citadel of political corruption (The Congress) was people keeping their end of the social contract and storming the center of a crime syndicate. Power ultimately rest in the hands of the people. The citizens have every right to revolt against governments that do not rule in a just manner.
So you're cool with BLM attacking any government building then?
Aren't they 'the people' in your argument? Wouldn't any attack they make against the government be justified per your own reasoning?
