If the federal government actually supports state rights, they should give
grant money to all of the states regardless of their internal policies, or
not give any grant money at all.
Of course Calexit is supported by right wingers, because that is who it would
benefit. California is one of the sanest states in the Union as well as the
most populous, and Republicans would be elated if they were to leave. Of
course, most Californians don't support secession, and secession is illegal
(there was a war over it). Speaking of Texas, do you support states' "rights"
to own slaves? For sure, the government made the right decision to not let
them secede.
And yes, we aren't trying to beat anyone on states rights, this isn't a
competition. We are simply pointing out the right's hypocrisy on states'
rights. Republicans don't actually care about states' rights except when they
can use it to oppress people (like the one time when states tried to secede).
