I’m not sure what I expected a CNN senior political analyst to think about America’s Democratic Republic, but it certainly wasn’t Ronald Brownstein’s revelation on Wednesday that Republican-led states have different policies than Democrat-led states.

One would be forgiven for thinking that Brownstein was commenting on a state voting to secede from the Union. He wasn’t, he was referring to North Carolina’s decision to override its governors’ veto thereby repealing the requirement to obtain a  permit in order to buy a pistol.

On so many fronts, the states w/unified Republican control of government (or veto proof legislative majorities as here) are building a nation w/in a nation. The breadth, degree, and pace, of separation by the red states is breathtaking.

North Carolina's Republican-controlled state House repealed the state’s requirement that someone obtain a permit before buying a pistol, overriding Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto. https://apnews.com/article/pistol

 

In response, one person wrote, “It’s called federalism. And it might be the only thing that saves the republic. Not everyone wants to be Ca, NY, or DC. They kinda suck.”
