I remember when repugnacans championed states’ rights.
I don't.
I remember when American conservatives in the '60s claimed to support states' rights. But what they actually supported was segregation and Jim Crow. They used "states' rights" as a rhetorical tool to hide their racism behind a facade of principle, just like the Confederacy had a hundred years prior.
Among the American right, only useful idiots (like libertarians) actually believed in states' rights - or small government rhetoric in general - as a principle. It was always empty rhetoric. And now that Republicans are openly supporting Trump's big government authoritarian conservatism, it's become obvious how badly the Ron Paul types were used.
~red~ STATES RIGHTS
...that's just civil war with extra steps
The fascist-controlled Senate does not have the authority to do this and they were warned ahead of time that they did not have the authority. But that didn’t stop them, because neither law nor Constitution nor ethics will prevent an authoritarian from trying to steal power.
I just have to wonder how much longer California will be in the United States to be subject to these kind of actions.
All the the ruling class even in California are too financially invested and want to keep their high standards of living to do that, unfortunately.
Probably about 3 years
State rights?
Turns out it was slavery this whole time.
Shocker
They should just ban the sale of spark plugs, fuel injectors, pistons, timing belts, exhaust pipes, etc. one by one each time one of these bills gets passed. You can buy an ICE vehicle if you want but you better know someone who will drive you to Nevada to get spare parts.
Well its a very thin state.
It may be long and narrow, but California is huge. It's a about a four hour drive from a major city to the NV state line.
Only 250 miles wide. Ez walk to get that spark plug tbh.
I guess it is roughly one Netherlands wide, huh...
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
