Good. MA and its socialism deserves to die a trickling, slow death . .

Nope. The states are the “laboratories of democracy” in a Federalist system. If a state is hurt by the stupidity of its policies it serves as an example for the rest of the country of what not to do. It is valuable precisely because there are consequences to misguided public policy.

The only problem is, liberals look at Massachusetts and California as success stories. They want to make the rest of the country just like them. Rather than being a cautionary example, these places are seen as prototypes for utopia by a lot of people in positions of power and influence.

As another Freeper noted, Orwell’s 1984 was a cautionary tale, but liberals see it as a blueprint.
