It's a very old story, states rights unless the states do something conservatives don't like.

An example was banning slavery. Conservatives didn't like that, so they started a war over it. A war meant to deny the states the right to ban slavery.

Now they want to ban states from bettering the world. I say now, but it's actually always.

Conservatives in state government do the same things to local governments. It's authoritarianism all the way down.
