    . Or, at least, it had that vocal contrarian clown car of people insisting its not fair that States don’t really have Rights.

    I was always taught that states rights was a dead letter that had been decisively refuted by the Civil War. Then, Trump was elected and suddenly states rights were a critically important bulwark against fascism. California and New York were seriously looking into it. Now that Biden's in, it's back to being outdated again, and nobody remembers it was ever any other way.
