these are the cases where states/cities openly defy the feds what we are not seeing are cases where the central government doesnt even bother trying to flex because they know its pointless to do so

occasionally the feds can do stuff like force up the drinking age by tying it to federal funds but ok did anyone really care about 20 year olds being allowed to get drunk no offense to the kids but probably not. also its not like the law actually stops any of you

but it goes further. local areas also ignore state laws. gun control is a common example, many sheriffs often just say "naw we dont care what the capitol says were not gonna enforce it" fractal
