While I am often not very happy witht he GOP leaning SCOTUS on this one I really am glad to have a right-leaning supreme court.

Lets hope they do the right thing and knock down these and similar state-laws as unconstitutional and in violation of the #2A

@freemo wait I thought Republicans supported states rights?

@louisrcouture Not really, you are thinking of Libertarians. Republicans are, in theory, about small government. It is debatable how good they are at getting there, better than the dems, but that isnt hard to do.

> Republicans are, in theory, about small government.

Haha yes. In theory.

I'm in the #GOP but for the life of me can't find many prominent politicians who are about small government. #Trump and #RonDesantis sure as heck ain't it.

@realcaseyrollins

Yea sadly the parties have been somewhat divorced of their ideals on both sides for a while now.

@louisrcouture

Yep. The #GOP at this point is the party of moderates, and a handful of loudmouthed far righters who rarely have enough power to change anything.

@realcaseyrollins

I dont see them as moderates... I see the GOP as 90%+ plain old right and <10% extreme right.

The left I see as maybe 70% plain old left and 30% extreme left.

The only place moderates exist are outside of the two major parties as either no-party or a 3rd-party.

@louisrcouture

Maybe I view them as moderates because a lot of them just don’t do much of anything at all 🤪

When it comes to moderates, wouldn’t you consider someone like #JoeManchin a moderate?

@realcaseyrollins @freemo joe manchin is definitely a moderate.

I would consider Ron De Santis Far right and Donald Trump far right too but definitely less right wing than de Santis.

@realcaseyrollins @freemo a lot of people where I live would consider Biden centre right if not right wing and Bernie to be center | center left but I really don't think that. Biden in USA is center left but he would be centrist maybe center right ish in Quebec.
