And I thought he was the good guy. Fuck everything about this. Dick "we must protect our children". From what?

Unitedstatians are so absolutely alienated by their insane two party system that they quite literally operate under the assumption that if somebody opposes the "bad party" in one aspect, they immediately and totally fall into "good party" territory. Then they act shocked when turns out both are just right wing rich assholes, but one changes their profile picture on pride month or something. Repeat endlessly.

From the government not being able to mine their parents data of course... Its the number one thing that turns kids to drugs, dont you know?

What in the world would give you the idea he was a good guy?

Not sure why everyone always focuses on the executive as a scapegoat, it's the legislature that you're and passes these.
