[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the crazy thing about the Republican Court Strategy. If their Supreme Court majority succeeds in limiting federal authority and giving the states free rein to revert to a 1950s Southern-style corporate sponsored authoritarian police state, it will hurt any red states that do that. People who don't want to live in an oppressive state will start moving to the West Coast, Northeast, and Upper Midwest, as millions of people did from 1920 to 1970.

Who said anything about going to back to the 1950s.  If the courts give the states more rights and limit the fed gov, that is exactly what the people in these states want.  There won't be anyone leaving the red states.  They will continue leaving the crazy blue states like Calif and NY because they will just go further off the deep end.  People are already leaving those horribly run states in droves for political reasons, and that trend will just step up if the go even further left.  [/quote]

You are delusional. When things get kicked back the states, the low and moderate income people in conservative hell holes don't get more rights. Those states are already easy for corporations and a few oligarchs to control. Look at everything they advocate. They want to get rid of minimum wage, health care programs, and workers rights. The growth in the South and Southwest happened only after the federal government made those states join the 20th century and provide decent education and minimal rights to their citizens, and the establishment in those states have been fighting the federal government for 50 years to turn back the clock. That is the reason these rural areas in red states are so depressed - not because of the federal government but because of their Republican state governments.

The industrial boom in Midwestern cities grew from the migration of blacks and poor whites fleeing Southern police states in the early 1900s. The Illinois Central railroad took workers from Louisiana & Mississippi to Chicago, the Hillbilly Highway took workers from Tennessee and Kentucky to Detroit and workers from Alabama went to Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
