> I would say the US drastically changed a few ways: 1) the public’s perception of the media, 2) the US strategy with regards to China, 3) a significant adjustment of tax strategy and offshoring of profits, 4) healthcare regulations.
These are ephemeral changes, the type that flap back and forth frequently with presidential changes.
That's why things like ACA are far more monumental - they're codified, much harder to undo.
Trust in media has been in steady decline for decades now.
States are actively implementing nullification of federal laws. Some blue states are illegal immigrant sanctuary states. Some red states are federal gun law sanctuaries. Marijuana sanctuaries abound. People in positions of power are openly discussing more nullification and even national divorce.
You don't repeal laws, you nullify them. The ACA is small potatoes in that regard. They're not coming for the ACA, they're coming for the whole union.
What you're discussing is nothing new. State marijuana decriminalization has existed for decades, states have selectively chosen to enforce immigration laws differently for even longer.
What state gun laws are intended to supersede or nullify federal ones?
None of this is new or shocking. It's largely the way the republic has operated from day one.
I count two. Regardless, but not the kind that has (or would have to) survive constitutional challenge. In four years they barely made a dent on ACA, and that was a critical part of the mission statement.
Either could be reversed, as has happened in previous administration changes. Our tax code and rates are pretty malleable, if the last forty years is any indication.
