The US is more of a federal system which somewhat protects us. I doubt there will be a national law saying that local police should look for illegal chickens. So you just vote the local people out or move.

Maybe I am too optimistic?

Replace chickens with guns or immigrants.

State/Local enforcement of those sets of laws is already a highly contentious issue.


What do you do when the legislatures pass laws that make it harder and harder for the people being harassed to vote?


We can scale any problem into a worldwide issue if we use our imagination. But at some point, a local issue is just a local issue.


How is scaling to the state legislature scaling to a world wide issue?
