    Matt Pearce  🦅 Retweeted The Atlantic

    Ironically, recent weeks have nonetheless laid out a case for a federalist system — if you cannot rely on the central government to be competent, there is at least some slack elsewhere in the system (states, counties, nonprofits, companies) to move independently. Which happened.https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1238947544962600960 …

        of course it's generally a bad idea to design your system on the assumption that it's likely that the central government won't be competent

        federal government also kept on putting up roadblocks for the rest of us to act, and it's still happening

        Amen. It is the state and local governments and the good sense of most Americans that will save us.

        Which case for federalism is that again? The one that logically ends up with Alabama re-segregating schools?pic.twitter.com/LGIjYHRYtu

        This is also a logical result of Republican efforts to destroy government and institutions.

        There’s this thing called the Constitution that actually preceded the Republican Party. It’s awesome. You should read it.

        And state systems are the best set up for local response. Thankfully those systems are already in place albeit underfunded. Too bad federal system so compromised by Trump admin malevolent incompetence
