- Javalicious 2y agoThere's the States Rights GOP, and then there's the Things Trump Doesn't Like. That executive order about paper straws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14208 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14208) falls under the latter category.
- goosedragons 2y agoNah sorry. States Rights has never actually been about state rights. See slavery through abortion.

- alabastervlog 2y agoRhetoric often has nothing at all to do with what a party actually does. They also claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and the pro-economic-growth party, but we've got at least 45 years of history that make it look like neither of those are really true—based on the data, they're the party you elect if you want the economy to do worse and the deficit to get bigger. Like, if what actually happens when they govern was what you had to go on, not what they say, that's definitely what you'd conclude.
