This is verging on an ad hominem attack: we need more federal powers because those people are awful baby killers! The reality is everyone cares, they just disagree sharply on how to solve issues or which issues are priorities — to which the solution of several independent approaches seems reasonable. When people in state A see that state B is doing much better because of policy X, they can choose to enact similar. I’m not sure I understand why they need to be compelled to adopt your preferred policies. It’s interesting that you discuss “red states” being in need — but ignore the prolific violence in “blue cities” and poor trapped there. As they say: Cure yourself, doctor.
