Getting to the heart of the matter in paragraphs 7 & 8 to point out that Griffin's actions appear part of the "whittling down" of our Voting Rights Act of 1965, indicates Griffin is just another necrotic player in the "states' rights" game. A game that sounds benign but is anything but.... The states' rights game is the racket aimed at women losing reproductive freedom and the charade that "school choice/vouchers" is a good outcome when we know that is nothing but return to segregated schools creating conditions for the decay of our public schools. So I see a web of "whittling" away. And the stench, noxious.
Nice observation—many people often overlook it. The GOP has always backed the notion of state rights which traditionally argued for less federal government intervention in various aspects of life, including private matters. However, paradoxically, this has sometimes led to increased government involvement.
For example, states' rights advocates have pushed for policies that allow states to regulate issues like marriage, education, and healthcare, resulting in more localized government control over private lives. This includes laws and regulations affecting personal freedoms, such as reproductive rights, and religious expression.
When North Carolina embraced charter schools or the voucher system which is nothing more than public funding for individuals seeking to educate their kids in private schools, they effectively endorsed creating an educational system run by corporations, not the locally elected boards of education.
Those of us who remember Ronald Reagan recall his admonishment: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help!'"
