[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77030835, member: 123415"] The scenario you mentioned with Trump is certainly a problem. However, in a broader sense, with regards to government, the threat of force or coercion is always implied. I don't mean that to sound as sinister as it comes across, but it is the role of government. One of the major functions of government is to be an entity that people cede a monopoly to on the creation and enforcement of laws. So anytime the government is asking something of someone, history and pragmatism tells us that they have the capability to get what they want. Sometimes that's a net good, other times, not so much and it's for seemingly superficial and petty reasons. For all the valuable functions government performs (sometimes via forcing people to do something they don't want to do), there are also times where they do things like pass expensive and "waste-of-time" futile legislation like they did when some senators were miffed because some people were "cheating at baseball".
