WWSD (What Would Stalin Do)?
There was a time when Republican stood foursquare in favor of local and state government over the federal government. No more.
“Noem Says National Guard Occupation Is Meant To ‘Liberate’ LA from its mayor and governor”
Wonder if the citizens of LA and CA knew they were in need of “liberation” and whether they think hijacking their own state guard by the Trump Bolsheviks in Washington was an improvement over what their city and state police were providing. I doubt Noem or Trump did a poll.
Look, this is about dominance, not about public safety.
Trump is liberating CA from it’s elected representatives

You know the Republican stand on states rights was just their plan to neuter the federal government.
Any position the Republicans have taken has always been about gaining power to rule. Every slogan, and that’s all they have serves their drive toward their selfish and self serving vision for America.
They don’t need states rights now.
Daniel:
Good points.
However, there is nothing to stop Congress from taking back the authority states have assumed. It is just that our Congress has mutated. People believe if they do not get their own way they will not vote, vote for others, etc, The power to change is still there if people wake up.
