You can’t have it both ways though. If you’re going to insist on a strong federal government, you have to accept the risk that you end up living under a broodmare theocratic federal government. States’ rights would protect you from that.
They protect the blue state eloi who have never cared about anyone other than themselves, sure. But good people in red states get fucked. Which you're HAPPY with.
No, those people move from red states to blue states. That migration has been going on for a long time. It’s one of many reasons why the states are so polarized.
The ones who can afford to, yes. Funny thing about states' rights. When blue states raise their minimum wage, their voters stop caring about raising wages nationwide.
