For many years, State’s rights was one of the few “Republican issues” that I agreed with; I think stronger State government is needed as a check and balance to the Feds from gathering too much power. They are the ONLY real check and balance in my opinion as judges are much more easily bought.
So, the Rs have done the “old switcheroo”, like Democrats have with labor post Reagan.
Now, we have unchecked Federal government power and practically zero labor, with 10% of labor force in a union. Labor was a fantastic source of support for the Democrats for many years, from organizing protests to strikes and so on to force change.
And humorously, that 10% is mostly government employees and police and such. The unions have been bought out and/or dismantled.
AND the source for organizing now, social media, is also the State surveillance system. Infiltration of organizations is automatic. No exceptions.
