I don’t think that’s the proper requirement. They need to be not only conservative, but demonstrably supportive of states’ rights. Regardless, the entire thing line of reasoning is moot. Even people who believe in states rights and are truly principled in their actions don’t think that states rights are a blank check or that no federal laws should passed. For example you can be in favor of federal laws protecting access to abortion because you believe in individual rights being paramount while also believing the federal government overreaches in other domains. The poster is really just pointing out a perceived hypocrisy in politicians, which isn’t interesting; and painting everyone else who believes in the same concept with the same brush even if they haven’t demonstrated that hypocrisy.
