I thought the republican party was all about states' rights

Repubs would lose their shit and probably secede again if the dems did what the repubs just did. If a dem sent federal armed forces into a repub state, civil war 2.0.

States Rights and Federal Surveillance State: obviously they will do whatever gives them the most power.

The Dems are more consistent, including in refusing to endorse higher labor costs (even if productivity will go up…); at this point both monopoly parties want workers terrorized…
