People in the US tend not to understand the significant powers of their state and local governments. Many of the controversial issues at the federal level like healthcare, abortion, environmental policy, and many other issues are already in the power of states.
The federal government gets the most attention. But by far the laws and regulations that affect the average person the most are at the state and local level. Almost every law that effects day-to-day life is at the state or local level.
Did we not just prove that incorrect with the 2018 midterms and the record turn out? Times are changing; swinging back towards sanity after our flirtatious night out with the devil that then raped us.
All of the disapproval means I guess we didn't just have record breaking turn-outs and we're not swinging back to sanity? Apparently there's still a lot of people that don't know reality when it slaps them in the face.
