      The local govs taking direct action. The state gov may be controlled by human rights hostile republicans at the state level, but there are many smaller governments within the state controlled by liberals.

      And to be clear, the use of “state” in your quote was the generic sense of the word.

        What kind of fantasy land are you living in where local governments have any power at all to make state governments do anything?

            You’re talking about Republicans but then saying “state” is a generic word.

            But anyway, assuming you mean nation-states, what makes you think there’s anything preventing nation-states from just letting their people starve? They do it all the time.
