Republicans only cry States Rights when the federal government is attempting to make someone's life better or when they want to take something away

They cry states rights as a tactic because they can control some states. If they had a supermajority on the national level they'd be passing abortion bans, contraceptive bans, trans bans, and any number of other abhorrent piles of garbage through at the federal level.

Note how they give not a single shit about states rights to regulate firearms or allow abortions.
