For me, what's maddening is people claiming 'cognitive dissonance' when the Federal Government does the job it is supposed to do, which is make sure 'states rights' don't get out of line with the constitution or the bill of rights. In my experience, the people shouting 'states rights!' are generally the people who are doing something completely hideous ( violations of secular principles, human rights/liberty, etc. ). I believe, the reason there seems to be a push to do everything at the 'Federal Level' these days is because extremism in political views is really LOUD and the more people are getting into a frenzy by living in communal echo chambers. The more people believe that the 'world is ending RIGHT NOW' the more urgent and forceful the 'solution' becomes.
