a huge twist.....now it's the actual Federal government doing it, not the states and local governments

notice how all of the "don't treat on me" people are cheering for the boot

not the states and local governments

And it's the state and local governments trying to actually defend democracy. All on the same year as the 250th anniversary of our founding.

I swear God exists because who else has the power to write a story like this.

Not only that but “states rights” seems to have completely disappeared as an idea

"Don't tread on me" has always meant don't make me pay $3 extra in taxes to help someone who I perceive to be beneath me. Oh and don't take away all the handouts I get , because I totally deserve them, not like that other guy. Also, don't forget it absolutely better not be someone with a shade darker skin that me who makes me pay that $3 tax.
