Topics
Galen Druk: 美国联邦体制下,各州是民主的试验场,州政府尝试不同的政策或政治策略,可能最终影响全国,也可能导致红蓝州分歧加大。当华盛顿权力分裂、国家立法停滞时,州议会成为国家政治变革的主要推动力,各州权力更加凸显。 Monica Potts: 各州对枪支管制的立法呈现两极分化趋势:红州倾向于放松管制(例如扩大隐蔽携带许可),蓝州则倾向于加强管制(例如实施普遍背景调查)。各州对地方枪支法律的优先权,进一步加剧了州与州之间的分歧。尽管“红旗法”在民调中跨党派支持率很高,但红州对这类更严格的枪支管制措施的兴趣不大。 Amelia Thompson-DeVoe: 许多州的立法反映了全国范围内的主题,例如红州禁止青少年接受性别确认治疗,蓝州则迅速采取行动保护堕胎权利。虽然一些趋势在红蓝州都存在(例如TikTok禁令),但更多趋势正在加剧红蓝州的分歧,有时甚至是相互回应的结果。布鲁因案改变了低级法院对枪支限制的评估方式,使得政府更难证明枪支限制合宪。 Kaylee Rogers: 一些州(新墨西哥州、俄勒冈州和佛蒙特州)正在提出法案,以限制准军事组织和民兵的活动,而爱达荷州则试图废除其唯一的一部反民兵法。

The podcast discusses how states are becoming laboratories of democracy, testing different policies that may either unify or further divide red and blue states. It highlights the tracking of legislation on guns, tax and spending plans, and identity politics.

Shownotes Transcript

In our federalist system, the saying goes, the states are laboratories of democracy. State governments test out different policies or even political strategies that may someday reach the whole country or drive red and blue states further apart. This year FiveThirtyEight is tracking what that looks like -- what legislation is being proposed and passed and how Republicans and Democrats are going about things differently. In this installment of the podcast, the crew looks at new proposals on guns, tax and spending plans and identity.
