While it pleases me that some states have a backbone to resist this Regime of China Joe, I won't consider it a Republic until every electronic voting machine is destroyed, and proper ID and other requirements are rigidly enforced for elections.
Honestly, one avenue to combating the communist deep state gives me tremendous hope. If states just simply up and decide to ignore federal overreach then our troubles end right then and there.
They're legislating opposition to EOs now, but what happens if states just decide to ignore them. No legislating. No court filings. Just ignore them.
Want a pipeline? States work together to build it. Federal funding? Who needs it? Fund it yourself. Create jobs. Reap the benefits. Federal alphabet agency conjures up a fresh regulation on a whim? Just ignore it.
The biggest issue America faces is the federal government is OBSCENELY POWERFUL. But in the grand scheme of things, the federal executive and legislative branches are COMPLETELY USELESS. EOs mean dick. Congress can't legislate for shit. The only legislation they do is deciding how many more trillions of tax dollars to piss away next month.
If states start deciding to just act on their own, what are the feds going to do about it? Cut funding that states would already have if they depended less on the federal government teat for sustenance anyway? Arrest people? Send in the military? We have national guard for exactly that reason.
It would amount to a sort of soft secession, and a return to states rights and the foundation the USA was founded on in the first place.
The federal government would become totally impotent if states just started ignoring it. Hell, we might even be able to excuse ourselves from paying federal income taxes if we ever get ballsy enough.
Then again, the last time states tried this they ended up fighting a war over slavery. But I don't like the government's chances in a civil war these days regardless of how it goes down.
