Certainly there are people in both parties who would come together to embrace a new political force of ‘Love America First’ over the moral relativism of ‘Me First’. Clean house (both sides congress), say no to illegals on our soil, send PC reeling back on their rearends, drill for oil, massive tort reform, restore states rights (federalism), incentives for buy America first, etc., etc.
“restore states rights (federalism),”
As a concept, federalsim was supposed to support states’ rights. As a practical matter, though — at least in America — federalism as practiced by the “federalists” subordinated the states to the federal government, which was why so many of the founders (including Thomas Jefferson) became anti-federalists: They saw that the federalists were hell-bent on suppressing the states and making the federal government supreme. Abraham Lincoln would later become the quintessential federalist, who set in motion the gears that would essentially destroy the idea of America as envisioned by the founding fathers.
