What I am interested in is what the states that joined Texas and called "foul" are going to do in these coming years. Because with how hard they have been fighting all this, I imagine they are going to make sure that the Feds trying to do anything is going to be the equivalent of pulling teeth, and they will just point to New York and Cali refusing to carry out federal laws in other matters to justify themselves. For instance, I could see Biden trying to do some sort of New Assault Weapons Ban, only for states like Texas, Florida, Kansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, etc to say "Nope, sorry. Gun sanctuary zone. You want it? Send the ATF to TRY and take it." and there would literally not be enough resources to pull it off. And thats ignoring that the courts might still go our way in some cases (though I am now less confident about the Supreme Court than I was before). And considering a lot of those states have also done fairly well at surviving Covid since a lot of them avoided locking down, they would likely be in a good position to fight that bullshit. Hell, I wouldnt be surprised if when Biden tries to do some BS with illegal immigration, you dont see Texas start going rogue and doing its own thing to make sure that they dont end up there. What I am getting at is: This is far from hopeless, people saying its hopeless need to step back and breath a little bit. And I imagine the next few years will be quite the site to behold.
