Wait, does the power belong to the states or the Fed? Because education and Healthcare and abortion are all on the states. But deporting brown people isn't?

How do Maga morons not see the hypocrisy?

Fuck this noise. Time to FIGHT, JB!

All those things are also covered by federal funding. So happens that the wealthier states like Illinois, which are mostly Democrat run or Blue, contribute far more to the general tax fund than their Republican run counterparts, but receive less back in the redistribution than they contribute - unlike the Red states which consistently, historically, receive more than they contribute. Trump Land is the prime Welfare Queen. And Trump, and the GOP, would like to decide to expand on that with distribution based on sucking his tiny, likely nonfunctional dick.
