States Rights… This Is Gonna Get Interesting

I think States Rights are going to be at the forefront of the national stage come Jan 20th when Trump 2.0 comes into office.

The GOP has always said they are Pro-States Rights. But that’s only when it serves them. This should be interesting. To say the least.

Republicans have touted that they are for small government, but are they really? I think it’s only when it serves their purpose.

Democrats have never been small government. Or for as far as I know. But the Republicans have been, but they also have no problem being hypocrites to serve their purposes. I know lots of people who are for smaller government, who will flipflop on their own stance because they’re sheep and just blindly follow their party.​

As a student of history. I was literally a History Major in college. I’ve never seen so much flip-flopping as I do with the Republicans. It’s disgusting.

At least my friends who are Libertarians how their ground when it comes to telling people to “get off their lawns.”

The next four years are going to be tough. As much as I want to think that Trump 2.0 won’t be bad, it will be. And it will be bad for all of us. Even the idiots who voted for him, because they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a Black/Indian-heritage American Woman.

Our country is really messed up. And we’re paying for it now.
