State government? You mean states in the bible belt, right? Because they aren’t in favor of liberal coastal state government.



You want to distinguish between favoring federalism VS favoring the policies/culture/etc. of specific states.

So yeah; they are in favor of more state government in lieu of federal, even though they hate certain states’ policies. I think that’s obvious. Now, the question is whether or not they will succeed in handicapping states’ autonomy when they disagree with things. My take is they will try (and have tried), but it isn’t a foregone conclusion that they will succeed. There’s soft power and there’s violence, and I’m optimistic that it will be more the former.

They just nixed NYC’s congestion fee. They are gonna do plenty of meddling.


More feudalism less federalism.
