[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They prefer states rights over federal. That would make sense if it were about closeness to the people. But conservatives also welcome state level bans on local governments from doing things they don't like. So it's not about that. So state is most legitimate, federal the least but state more than local. Make it make sense.[/quote] The GOP places legitimacy where it has control. They cannot control a federal bureaucracy and they cannot control urban governments, so they develop rhetoric around the states, particularly those like Texas, where there are huge blue areas but they can gerrymander and bribe their way to subjugation.[/quote]
