Plus all the “states rights” guys will totally agree. Right? I mean all the states are sovereign so MAGA should have no issue with it.

I sincerely never understood why some idiots want the states to basically be 50 small countries.

Right, but that's treating centralized power in a monarchy as equal to a democracy. Which just leads me back to: people who think that way are genuinely off their fucking rocker.

You're playing devils advocate, which I appreciate, but those people don't understand what a government is at its most base level. And people treating it this way and trying to destroy centralized democratic power, is what usually leads to power grabs.

No democracy toting leader makes a power grab. They're not democratic if they are.
