    Thought the Republicans were the champions of “let the states decide” guess that’s out the window when pandering to their hate.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Southern states before the civil war: “we want state’s rights to own slaves.”

      Also Southern states before the civil war: “we should be able to force northern states to return slaves.”

        It ended as soon as roe v Wade was overturned and they immediately started angling for national abortion and contraceptive bans. They want to live in a Christian theocracy and their sobbing about States rights (to take away your rights) was all convenient lies for them to get a toehold.

      Conservatives say stuff for effects, not for truth or consistency. They are not honest people arguing in good faith.

      They’ll say “states rights” when that benefits them and "federal supremacy " when that benefits them. They are not good people.

    Those aren’t “cops.” It’s an invading force. It is a domestic terrorist threat.

    He could put up a website to collect all those videos, it wouldnt be that hard. I’m sure he would have all the volunteer hours he needed.
