Ya this is the fallacy with leaving human rights up to the states. There are certain shared values which must be defended in order to have a free society. Which means that people who don't see a problem with these eventualities (due to their intolerance) can't be allowed to control government. The tolerant can't tolerate intolerance because the intolerant break the rules of the game and eventually collapse civil society. Unfortunately I've watched intolerance reign for most of my life, definitely the last 25 years, which is roughly everything after the Dot Bomb, 9/11, etc. Now ignorance fueled by propaganda created by billionaires under wealth inequality determines our election outcomes and I worry that it may be too late to stop the global societal collapse that's coming.
