States rights. A glorious thing. Pedes have cried because of states rights, saying the Feds should have all the power, but State's rights might be the revolution you wanted.

I've been a fan of state's rights since I learned what they were, in school. They're the bulwark to an abusive Federal government, the Founders wanted us to have them, precisely for what's going down now.

Granted, there's good and bad with state's rights, they can be abused by liberals as well, as we saw in the election. But overall, they can be used for the greater good.

If the horrific voting legislation Congress is working in now, I hope to see a lot of states claim their rights and defy it.

Yeppers. The vision our Founders had was so forward looking, you have to start thinking they were genius level intellects. They saw all of this coming. They gave us the tools to deal with it.

It really enrages me kids don't get taught civics and history of our nation in school, like I did. But that's how liberals operate, by promoting ignorance. An educated populace wouldn't put up with them and their fraud and lies.

The issue we have is the Federal government imposing a national income tax, taking the money from the citizens of a state and holding those funds hostage until the state does what the federal government wants it to. The other issue is the printing of money with no real value. The combination of those two issues was something the founding fathers would never have supported.

While states can abuse their power, it is also easier for the people to have a say in their local and state govt compared to the fed. Just compare how difficult it is to get elected (and a campaign funded) to Congress compared to a state assembly.

Next news title “extremists cry “states rights!” just like they did during the civil war why they were wrong then and wrong today” proceeds to rewrite history

saying the Feds should have all the power

Who says that? Every moderate and conservative I know emphasize states rights or how many of our laws should be left to the states.

There were plenty of pedes right here during the election, in December and January, who wanted Trump to ignore state's rights alongside complaining about states like Georgia abusing theirs.

States' Rights are a double edged sword. They also include things like California having sanctuary city laws. Under the 10th Amendment, the feds can't force California to deport illegals as policing powers are not explicitly given to the federal government, but rather to the states.
