Me thinks that the goal among conservatives is to achieve a confederacy of states, rather than a union. It was the dissenting opinion in 1789 and has remained the belief of conservatives since that time and the intent of the founding fathers so argued by originalists. The current Republican Party is merely the mantle, the robe, for local authority, a nation of self-directed states.

Except when truly local governments want to impose a mask mandate (e.g., St. Augustine, FL) and the Governor signs an Executive Order making it illegal.
ThatтАЩs right. They also allowed TrumpтАЩs Muslim ban as being in the best interest of the nation, but now thereтАЩs a democrat in the White House, so that rule is out.
Year is 1789. Can't edit posting. And I am not advocating for that position. Also, not all states in the Confederacy in 1865 were equal in influence and leadership in all things important (military, trade, foreign relations, culture). Those got carried out in a couple of states/capitols.

Odd how that works isnтАЩt it? Heads I win, tails you loose. All hypocrisy and double speak.
States rights, unless we need SCOTUS to install a president.
SCROTUS already blew that, too, with the Gore v Bush election.

And that takes us all the way back to ancient Greece and a democracy built around city-states... Talk about conservative!
