  1. I thought states were allowed to do whatever they want? Small government amiright?

  2. His first problem is the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

  3. It’s hard to play the enforcer when those you’re trying to subjugate are all laughing at you. Or better yet, ignoring your edicts and going about their daily business as usual.

    See: California. Mexico.

  4. Red states won’t be safe either. The trickle down of his policies are coming for everyone.

  5. They are safe, you know why they are safe? because the 500 or so deep blue counties that vote democrat make up a little more than 71% of the total American GDP and that is what it is about everytime at the end of everyday it doesnt matter. America always has and always be one nation under god and that god isn’t white, black, or this orange asshole, its green.

  7. I can tell you what Desantis has done in Florida is downright criminal. He removes elected prosecutors and sheriffs because they don’t bend the knee. You can be sure Cheeto Face tries the same.

  8. And those state should stop paying taxes. Let’s see how well the feds do when they aren’t getting funded by CA and NY

  9. Blah blah blah, states rights or something like that. Who the fuck even knows anymore 

  10. Exactly. People after the election have been like “well at least I’m safe in CA!” And I’m just like “yeah for now, who knows what this clown will do”

  11. It’s gonna suck next fire season in California… fucking Trump will just let it burn unless they bend the knee

  12. Trumpers own this now…he will be a disaster or he won’t accomplish anything at all

  13. The precedent already exists for states to straight up ignore federal laws. I expect we’ll see more of that

  14. Sadly (or maybe fortunately) every single state has conservative and liberals living there. Harm California and I guarantee the conservatives living there will also be harmed. But conservatives don’t seem to care until it affects them personally, so maybe it will make them realize that living under an authoritarian regime isn’t all that much fun after all.

  15. For a bunch of clowns that overturned precedent under the premise of “sending it back to the states” and a party that loves to go on about “states rights,” boy they sure don’t like blue states having their rights. Follow along with me, it’s almost like – I hope you’re sitting down for this – they didn’t mean any of that crap! I know, I know…. Shocking!

  16. Not just states but cities. I have absolute confidence that the petty tyrant or his cronies will target blue Philadelphia in red PA.

  17. Wasn’t the right to bear arms supposed to be for use against a tyrannical government?

  18. Resistance is not futile, we should resist croupttion at every step. Trump is a traitor to America, he is a rapist, fraud and felon.

  19. Sure, piss off the states that actually produce for this country. Let’s see how well that goes. Please.

  20. National divorce .. we’ll just be 50 individual countries. That’s what Republicans want, no more federal government, just state’s rights. No need for a senate, house, president or supreme court then.

  21. States Rights only apply to red states.

    Have a bet with wife that migrant round ups will start in blue states or blue cities in red states. Achieves 2 goals, slap in the face to blue areas & lets red states keep their migrant workers longer.

  22. Crony capitalism is what we had before.

    Fascist oligarchy is what we’re going to now. The sanewashing continues.

  24. I know the last time he was in office, he refused aid in the blue states and threatened all kinds of mayhem… To which I say, IF YOU DON’T DO THE JOB WE PAY FOR WITH OUR TAXES – WE WILL NOT SEND OUR TAX DOLLARS TO YOU. WE WILL USE THE FUNDS IN-STATE TO BETTER OUR LIVES! Let’s see how much you collect from the RED states who never contribute enough. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FUNDED BY BLUE STATES TAX DOLLARS. (sorry for yelling , but really, I’m exasperated.)

  25. My blue voting county/ neighborhood got denied disaster classification and funding after a flood last time he was president, I think as revenge. Fuck Trump and every single person who voted for him.

  26. Moved from a red state to a blue state. I’d rather be in a blue state during his presidency.
