Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Here’s what I think is going to happen:
Maybe that’s how CW2 starts, idk.
Tbh, this could also be done in the context of abortion rights with the numerous states that have passed that, but I think whatever is going to be used as a “test case” for this is going to involve CA, because I’m kinda convinced at this point that Trump and the conservative sphere want to try to make an example of CA to attempt to scare everyone else into line. Who knows. They see CA as a threat, because as a state, it has the 5th largest economy in the world when compared to other whole-ass countries. They want to bring CA fully under their control.
Problem with your theory: there's nothing at a federal level saying California cant mandate that, at least not yet. They'd need to overturn OvH AND pass something federally that says it's explicitly not allowed, else California can do as it pleases
Whether other states recognize it is no longer guaranteed, though, thats the big thing it being federally legal forced
Yea. Most of the Republicans schtick is more states rights and handles things at a state level.
But they're fucking lying! Surely you see that by now.
California will flat out tell them to fuck off.
And then Trump will use the insurrection act to (inappropriately and illegally) deploy the army against the CA national guard, and then we have a civil war.
I don’t think you understand how much of a hard-on the far right has for dictating from the barrel of a gun.
California will say fuck you states' rights. California is a bogeyman to flyover fucksticks and southern shitstains. I worked with a guy who diligently researched everything he bought, and wouldn't buy anything that profited California business. He was the extreme end of incel gross.
I give that as an example to show how much the extreme right hate California. It doesn't matter to them that there are many pockets of conservatives there, they would like to see the entire state burn. They don't think about or care about the national economy, they just use twisted versions of economics to hurt people.
Donald Trump is an sick old man slipping into senility. He won't be running the country. The people who will be would never endanger the tax money they get from California. That may be the only silver lining to the shit cloud.
Now the test case stuff might go right ahead in order to eliminate the rights of people in the rest of the US. You could be right about that.
