MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow says that for the first time since she’s been covering politics at the state level, Democratic-controlled states are passing laws to protect people from red states.

Madou said:
You can see states as laboratories of democracy, but you see states where each party is experimenting with what it wants for the whole country. There’s always a myth Republican-controlled states can tell you about what they’re doing in blue states. I probably found it more interesting than most.
I was always fascinated by these stories. But as you look at the different states, the red and blue states, the priorities and outcomes and sometimes the differences in intent among the legislatures in those states. Of all the trends I’ve followed over the years, this is one of the few times I can recall Democratic states like Jay Inslee’s Washington state passing legislation that not only separates blue states from Republican states, but separates blue states from Republican states. Policy terms and possible outcomes.

This is the first time that Democratic-controlled states have felt the need to pass a bill just to protect themselves from red states and protect what they do there.
Rachel Maddow is right. This is where we are as a country. States governed by Democrats should pass laws to protect their residents and residents of neighboring red states across the border from prosecution by Republicans.
The United States is developing a two-tiered system of freedom. Blue states if people have freedoms such as freedom for everyone to carry a gun without a license anywhere, and freedom of privacy and freedom regarding health care.
The people are punishing the people who want to be free by changing their policy differences to a country where free governments and red governments live.
