"They seemed more like liberals, but focused more on state government expansion than federal expansion."
People who were willing to throw away the USA so it can become Trumplandia are hardly for state goverment, or even federal in the sense of a confederacy, for that matter. They're for a big centralized shore-to-shore dictatorship.
Couple of years ago a memer from Montana was going on to me about how conservatives/right wingers were all about that individuality unlike the Libs, yadda yadda. I asked him how would folks in his town act towards someone simply dressed in black as opposed to the usual blue jeans, flannel shirt, and Stetsons (an answer which I already knew from direct experience going back to the 80s from everybody, even the Punk and Goth crowd, and very much so the Conservos).
I'm still waiting for his answer.
