The Federalist
A new report authored by the State Leadership Initiative (SLI) and obtained by The Federalist reveals how many Republican-run states “remain deeply entangled in the same bureaucratic bloat, cultural drift, and economic stagnation” that are features of those run by Democrats. While red and blue states often differ on major political issues (ex. gun rights and tax policy), the 2025 State Leadership Index shows how the implementation of these policies — specifically those in red states — “often operate within a [left-wing] framework that remains fundamentally unchanged.” More
Hence, Deep State. Cknservatives need to recapture the language, or at least unapologetically push nack on liberal nknsense, doubly so when it comes from “Republicans”tm

Something I have been posting for over a decade. The Republican establishment is every bit as bad as Democrats. The way Paul Ryan ratfucked us after 2016 finally convinced a lot of folks, but too many are still too corrupt themselves to care or notice.
Control freaks gotta control. People like that are attracted to government jobs where they can boss other people around.
Yeah, 150 years of Marxism and other crank European philosophies in your education system will do that to you.
Gee, you might conclude that there’s something inherently wrong with the very idea of govt bureaucracy that’s independent of the political philosophy of who’s in control.
Naaaah. Couldn’t be.
Could it?

I’ve seen the GOP team up with DNC to keep people off ballots.
I’ve seen the DNC run a candidate as a Republican, with both the DNC and GOP knowing the person was an undercover Dem.
And people say, “3rd Party!!!!”
Yeah, because we want a 3rd party (that totally doesn’t have dems and reps in it, cross my heart) adding to the bullshizzle.
If you can’t fix the 2 you have now, good luck being Europe.
This is more of a condemnation of the rapacious nature of the Federal government, exerting authority with the promise of federal dollars, as long as the states “stay in line.”, This is not what the founders intended.
You really can’t blame the poorer states for looking to DC for handouts, but with those handouts come onerous regulations and dependency.
Some red states have discovered that bargaining with the devil never works;

And how many red states said no to DC during COVID for lockdowns and free money as long as they “complied”?
I would still prefer to live in a red state, where people are normal God fearing hard hard-working Country loving folk, where they can still tell the difference between victim and criminal, where they won’t trans my kids, and where if necessity dictates putting 6 rounds in some scumbag, at least my peers will be like minded as myself.
What bothers is the day Trump leaves office what kind of republican party will we have? Will they revert back to their wishy washy get along gang, content to let democrats run the show while they play their part as the loyal opposition? They’ve been fighting Trump almost as hard as the democrats because he’s interrupted their little cocktail party circuit.
It’s all about the demographics of the bureaucracy. Fulton County, GA bureaucracy is nothing like St. Augustine, FL bureaucracy. That’s all I’m going to say.
Unless any of us are blind and stupid, we watched the GOPe scum screw us, betray us and betray our country over, and over, and over again.
A lot of those “Republicans” are merely Undocumented Democrats. They knoww they can’t win as Demos, so they run as Rs. John Edwards is the stereotypical good example.
The academic field of “Public Administration” was the brainchild of Woodrow Wilson, and both parties have bought into it.
