You forget, you live in an American based republic comprised of 50 states who currently remain together by choice and you live in an  American state that currently remains together by choice as well, Your issue has always been our freedom to choose and decide for ourselves, How's the trickle on the blue side these days? Does the trickle still suck on the blue side? Blue America still not paying people enough to survive in blue America without lots of government programs and financial support and now  reliant upon local governments passing laws that raise wages too.

I don't think so.  The ACW settled the issue of divisibility, and the South lost that one.  We are now unequivocally the United States, not these United States.  Does that mean that every state must be like every one?  No, but it does mean that Federal law is supreme.  You mentioned a few areas fully open to Federal law.  They once were and, and that may be returning in force in the near future.  We've had quite enough of the private sector playing one state or region off against the others.

Really?? Federal law is still viewed as supreme??? If federal law was still viewed as supreme, we wouldn't have lower courts dictating their own social policy or using their legal positions to obstruct justice and foreign policy and matters relating to national security like we've been seeing today. If federal law was still viewed as supreme, we wouldn't have sanctuary cities/states, issues relating to illegal immigration and the legal sale of marijuana to the public for any reason in some states. What gives blues the authority to ignore American law or state law and impose their own laws instead?  What allows them to do so without concern of being arrested and prosecuted and convicted of breaking federal laws and being sent to prison or violent retaliation? Whatever it is, I assume it's not legal or good. Do you think I'd turn the other cheek or accept things remaining as they are and have been for years, if a loved one were killed by an illegal immigrant or do you think I'd declare war (raise Holy Hell) on the blueish Democratic establishment?
