In many cases, political party identification has come to define public policy, percolating from the nation’s capital down to the 50 statehouses.
Many Republican state officials are aligning with Trump’s policies by pledging to help him crack down on illegal immigration, for example. Some Democratic state officials are mounting a resistance movement, looking for ways to shield their states from potential federal policies restricting abortion and transgender rights, among other things. Some prominent Democratic governors, meanwhile, have taken a more conciliatory approach in an effort to forge a working relationship with the new administration.
Here’s a look at what to expect in some policy areas:
Immigration Governors and lawmakers in red states are lining up behind Trump’s pledge to crack down on illegal immigration and deport many who are living in the U.S. illegally '''''''
Abortion Most U.S. abortions are carried out using drugs rather than through surgical procedures, and that is where the current abortion fight is focused.
At least four states — Indiana, Missouri, New Hampshire and Tennessee — have bills introduced aimed at banning pills.

Education Several efforts to expand the use of public money to pay for kids to attend private school suffered high-profile defeats in the November elections, including in Nebraska, Kentucky and Colorado.
But Trump’s victory is seen as a boon for such efforts, which in recent years have exploded in popularity. //////////
Public health With an incoming presidential administration that has indicated fluoride and vaccines might be in its crosshairs, lawmakers in a few states have filed bills that would end fluoridation programs and further restrict COVID-19 mandates.

These thwarter blue states are about to have their tax dollars formerly dedicated to sanctuary city budgets reduced to zero.
They will collapse and lose any support as the illegals hit the streets to loot , steal, pillage and burn like they are doing in California.
I want the democrats to keep doing what they are doing.
I want every American to see them for what they are, for what they have been since their inception. I want this party to FINALLY be shoved into history where it belongs- aside every bad idea we have ever had.
Do these blue states really think the money they enjoy for their bs programs will continue flowing? choke chain them all
If the keep their “sanctuary” policies, let remove all illegals from the red states first.
Illegals will naturally move to the socialist states and people there will hopefully revolt.
Money is tight these days, I hope they choose their battles well. It would suck for them to commit the treasury to fighting Trump and then a disaster happens and have no money to pay for it.
Some states are prepared to go scorched earth, and one literally is.
start enforcing federal law on these people and their shenanigans will stop real quick
“Trump’s policies by pledging to help him crack down on illegal immigration”
How much fun is this going to be this year, illegals that have also voted for Biden/Harris...imagine the joy when we say that “democrats are being from the mountaintops” and it is actually true.
Yes, and they will.
They will never GET it. Some people are just hooked on discord
As a Conservative voter, if I endured 12 years of the most ruinous Conservative leadership, I might consider supporting a Democrat
But Liberals will vote Democrat no matter HOW badly their policies and leaders are
Attention,all you Rat Party hacks determined to block Trump: make sure your taxes are in order...to the penny. And make sure you haven’t gotten even a $100 payoff from a company that’s regulated and funded with Federal funds!
And in California aka Califubar while over 12000 homes and businesses destroyed the LA City Council did what?:
“LA City Council votes to protect law-breaking immigrants”
Seems to me all the governments in the US, from Federal down to City, are out of touch with the needs of the people, as in Helene recovery and California wildfires, that elected them and can only get on TV and make excuses or blame someone else for their failures and promise to do better next time.
Well it looks as if the fib is not the only one that requires paring with the money axe. President Trump need do it for the sane people in the country. That’s the areas where a minority of commies have not taken control just like joe biteme did with them to the whole country in 2020.
As Liezat Cummins so famously said “I tide o dis”
Second option is not so pretty so please let’s disassociate the non patriots before they take over again.
I will help President Trump in any way possible.
Anybody else see the shift in AP reporting?
This article is actually fair. Not one opinion.
Just for that I’ll read it.
The dims and their media have succeeded in Balkanizing our country.
Look around as LA burns. That’s what happens when Leftists have their way.
If they want their areas to copy LA; that’s their problem.
Democrats have overplayed their wolf in a sheep skin gig to long communist playing socialism.
But Liberals will vote Democrat no matter HOW badly their policies and leaders are>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then they will not even be able to survive in their inner cities.
They will receive the Darwin Award.The onlyy way they will be able to vote is from the grave like they do now in some electoral districts. Dead people elect dead politicians like Biden and Harris. Again, Darwin award.
Son they will refuse to have children. We win.
