Actually, the law being questioned by the words in your quote, and were spoken by the man who signed bill into law, is not about centralizing government. It weakens the central governments power, dispersing it to the states, if the SCOTUS lets it stand. It is a STATE law, not a federal law.
That is not to say that Republicans have not supported Progressive policies, or not tried to pass unconstitutional laws. Republicans have done far less Progressive destruction of the Constitution then Democrats, and are far more likely than the Democrats to oppose the centralization of political power and growth of the federal government at the expense of the states. And Democrats are far more into the grips of Progressivism than Republicans. So it is that old bugbear of the lesser of two evils.

No the quote was from a judge who issued a stay.
Then you have Texas woman charged with murder for ‘self-induced abortion’
How would government be aware of a self induced abortion?
I doubt progressivism is as dangerous as your suggesting
I saw this
Modern conservatives don’t fear technology, they oppose new technologies that harm their friends. Put simply: renewable energy is a threat to the mining industry,oil and gas industry
Make perfect sense
Their against Gays and abortion and Transgenders . Again because they think it harms their base who are Heavily White, Religious and They prefer authoritarianism to democracy

conservatives don’t oppose green. energy. we oppose stupid policies. today, it’s stupid to not use our natural resources we’ve been blessed with. if we don’t produce our own gas, we have to buy it from some terrible places. so it doesn’t help the environment, it just strengthens the worst countries in the planet.
what’s the upside to that? what’s the upside to the US buying oil from russia and OPEC instead of getting it here? please explain?
