Speed running balkanization right now. This is going to have a cascading effect of states retaliating against one another and not even for cool reasons just out of spite and pettiness.

Buckle up folks the collapse of the US just got 10 years closer.

I expect video evidence of you eating your shoe within the hour.

I propose that we allow our comrade to eat a cupcake with a shoe painted on in frosting. Learning should be fun, not a punishment.

California can be quite “based-lib” about some of these things

In my head, the balkanization will come over this if the dems try to codify these things into law and then have to force the red states into submission after they’ve been given the freedom to crack down on it. That would be a major propaganda moment for the red state fash to build up a mandate. But I don’t expect the dems to do anything, so my money is still on balkanization over resources (like we started to see with the ppe) or climate change refugees.
