Good. If more people actually had a backbone, well, a lot of things would be different.

Someone finally remembered that the "United" in United States is only there when the states want to be united.

This is ABSOLUTELY UNAMERICAN! You MUST do what the FEDS TELL you to do!
-State's Rights Conservatives!
- Weird how there was no end to "states rights* stuff for the last four years, but the four years before that was strangely quiet. And I distinctly remember about 8 years before that where it was all they would talk about... And tan suits for some reason... Just a weird coincidence....
  Suuuuuuper weird.

Hopefully this is just the beginning, it's the only hopeful outcome I can think of, that Trump and his administration are so inept the states start doing their own thing without hindrance.

Wait until president Musk hears about this! He'll call for him to be fired and jailed or something. Just amazing leadership
