Trump's "Backing" has been entirely of the gladhanding sort though - not ever explicitly supporting individual specific policies that go beyond 'safe distance'. That was the core "Federal Policy".

This means that the second Trump says "Enough", well, now we can start taking Governors to court for being batshit crazy.

People don't LOGIC their way out of positions they were EMOTED into. ... But they can't be EMOTED out. And the rage against the tyranny, well. Fierce. Much rather rage against -state- level tyranny with the Feds having our back. So... Patience I think.
