The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

This has been an ongoing topic for a few years, as high-profile states like Texas and Florida push back against the overreach of the federal government. And other states have taken their lead: restricting or ending the sexual mutilation of children, strengthening voting laws to minimize fraud, pushing back against "Woke" financial institutions, empowering local school boards and parents, etc.

It's a welcome trend, and one that would be embraced by the founders of America, whose image of our country did not include an all-powerful federal government. Is the battleground the states and not the federal government? We talked about that in the last CJN Podcast, and "Joe Mannix" made a powerful case that the federal leviathan is not where change will occur.

Strong-State Federalism Is The Best Path Forward Right Now For The GOP (And The Country)

The most interesting elements of the midterms weren't in the fight over control in Congress (no one has much faith in Mitch McConnell, least of all many in his own coalition). They were the elections for state office that saw massive momentum build around longshot Republican challengers from New York to Michigan to even Oregon. Even though GOP gubernatorial candidates in those states didn't oust their incumbent-party opponents, they tapped into an energy that national Republicans have failed to generate.

And that is the downside to this trend toward federalism. Sure, Texas and Florida and Tennessee and Oklahoma and several other states will be bastions of freedom and liberty and autonomy for their citizens. But the other side of that coin is California and New York and Illinois and Washington and so on...states that happily and maniacally embrace the insanity of progressive politics, social mores, and cultural rot.

So for every state that sensibly makes illegal the psychotic and evil push toward the sexual mutilation of children, or their murder in the womb, there will be a state that welcomes it with open arms...
