Democrats move to crush red states' rise and threat
By Liz Peek, Opinion Contributor — 03/26/21 09:30 AM EDT The filibuster is not the only element of our governance that Democrats want to destroy. Also in their crosshairs: states’ rights and our federalist system.
Big blue states like California and New York are losing residents to red states like Florida and Texas. Democrats are alarmed, since that shift in population will cost them seats in the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes, making it harder for them to gain and keep power.
People voting with their feet also deepens the fiscal woes of states like New Jersey; the Garden State, which for three years running has ranked first in most outbound traffic, cannot afford to lose more high-earning folks.
Instead of trying to fix the policies that are driving people out of their states, like high taxes and cumbersome labor laws, Democrats want to impose those unpopular mandates nation-wide.
At best, they are sore losers. At worst, they are power-mad authoritarians. You decide.
