Take a deep breath, you're being extreme.

Just because the Republican party is traditionally associated with states' rights doesn't mean they should always have to give precedence to states.

Allowing states to enact their own regulations in this case would be incredibly burdensome to internet businesses, there's a good reason for net neutrality laws to be uniform across the whole country.

Take a deep breath, you're rationalizing away hypocrisy.

"States' rights" is a racist dog whistle. Nothing more.

Republicans broke "State's rights" a long time ago when they abolished slavery.

Democrats are not traditionally states' rights proponents. And yet they will wrap themselves in the banner of states' rights when it suits their agenda (gay marriage, drug laws, etc.). It is run of the mill political expediency- no more, no less.
