Nobody likes a strong federal government when it does stuff like this
Everyone likes a strong federal government when it competently handles a pandemic, economic crisis, or intelligently arranges for the well being of its citizens
You can’t magically solve the problem of almost half your country being bigoted supremacists by just reallocating some power
Everyone likes a strong federal government when it competently handles a pandemic, …
Everybody likes the handling of the pandemic but not the strength of the government. The strength is not evaluated. The strength itself could only be liked if the federal government would have to force the local governments to do the right thing.
It’s a false dichotomy of having either a strong or a minimal government. You can have both at the same time, strong in some areas, small to no influence in others.
So we just have to take the bad with the good? This woman’s life, and all the lives taken by the Federal government over the many years are just the price we have to pay for the privilege of having our “well being” managed by benevolent technocrats in the Federal government?

People in the US don’t know what it looks like to competently handle a pandemic.
Literally you

Does this qualify as intelligently arranging for the well being of citizens?
