Roe created the State Policy Network in 1992. to influence policy at the state level, allegedly after being urged to do so by Ronald Reagan. SPN currently has a network of think tanks in all 50 states.

I would agree with this completely.
Except, for 200 years, the south has only ever focused on racism, cruelty and evil, they have never cared about anything else and have been perfect single-issue voters in that regard.
I suggest we deal with them first, as with them in play democracy is effectively impossible.
That is their great fear, the loss of their most critical pawn, which is why after the Civil War the country suddenly sprung forward to become the greatest on the planet, and the progressive movement surged to improve the welfare of everyone.
The mistake was helping the south with the TVA, giving them the political power to hijack the rest of the country and drive us down their dark, destructive nightmare path.
Idk I have to disagree with that. Aside from bigger cities that always vote blue like New Orleans, Atlanta, Asheville, Memphis, and several others there are still states that definitely lean conservative, and vote red but have actually swung blue at least for governor. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist even in those cities, but it also exists to lesser extents (more confined to neighborhoods) in cities like Boston and Philly.
Louisiana is actually a perfect example of this, when corruption is so blatant it can’t be ignored and things like Medicaid expansion actually benefit people, they will vote Democrat.
Looking at Clinton’s first run, you would be surprised at how many states went blue when they thought it might benefit them. It kind of falls back to in-grouping I guess, but looking at the election map from the 2024 election it would seem it’s definitely not confined to the south. That’s kind of how the heritage foundation has been as successful as it has been. They actually began the official U.S. movement against multiculturalism, which then shifted to “political correctness” in the 90s, and then “wokeness,” and now “DEI.”
A national political focus on welfare as a handout, push towards Christian nationalism disguised as Christian values, and racial division to distract and divide can be traced back to one group
If you remember Jerry Fawell and fairly blatant attempts to use Christianity to somehow advertise segregation, you can thank the Heritage Foundation for that.
