    Personally I think it should be parental responsibility, and I don't see how it would be legal in the US without having on undue burden on adults but I didn't think we would vote for trump either.

    reddit is getting banned in France and a couple of other euro countries and some US states if they don't do age verification. I guess this is their solution.

    I've never understood the argument for jus soli existing and I'm not aware of any historical reason either.

    All of the new world runs on jus soli (I think only a couple islands don't), and if you need historical reasons to why, it should have been cover on your American history lessons but here is the first paragraph from wiki.

    The fourteenth is also the one that should disqualify trump from office for the J6 insurrection. And if you think they are just going to stop at removing some of our rights, I have a bridge to sell you

    The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. Usually considered one of the most consequential amendments, it addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law and was proposed in response to issues related to formerly enslaved Americans following the American Civil War.

    The religious fundamentalist won.

    Well at least a bunch of billionaires hijack a bunch of online media targeting religious people of various flavors. Bombarding them with messages that convey apathy, fanaticism, and hate, to galvanized or depress voters in various key areas.

    Or we just stupid.

    I'm just hopping that all the people around him actually improve things instead of the just grifting but trump is endorsing a scam meme coin so yeah...

    Not that I don’t believe he would just plain break the law but I just have a hard time seeing corporate lawyers tell Tim Apple that it would be fine to just ignore federal law that the supreme courts just upheld as legal.

    Every country has a protectionist economic culture. I think you can argue that only the Regan era offshoring was the only time that wasn’t the case and we can see the results of that experiment today.

    Have you been paying attention? The MAGA party is only interested in what their dear leader tells them.

    If you think current day republicans are the same as the one from even 20 years ago, I’m not sure what to tell you.
