So wait, you don’t believe the 14th Amendment incorporated the Bill of Rights against the States?
You believe the States are fully entitled to deny freedom of speech, worship, and assembly?
That they can ignore jury trials, try people multiple times for the same offense, can conduct searches without warrant or cause, and inflict cruel and unusual punishments?
That they can infringe, even prohibit, the keeping and bearing of arms?
Yes, those clauses originally only applied to the Federal government.
Most people are quite happy that has been amended.
