This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

I do see cheating (especially serial cheating) as a form of abuse via violation of consent, but certainly not something that any state should be trusted to prohibit by law.
The knee jerk reaction to solve every harm and unethical behavior through criminalization is just more carceral logic.

One of the things that's wild about MAHA on social media is they're also vilifying Pedialyte and Ensure.
So not only do they want you to not do anything that can stop you from getting sick (masking, vaccinating) they also don't want you to effectively treat yourself once you are sick.

The propaganda they’re getting is deeply racist, and their actions reflect that. They’re not being tricked into voting for racists.

There was a whole panic last year about Haitians eating people’s pets, boosted by both Trump and Vance two months before the election. People saw that shit happen and still voted for Trump and Vance because they promised mass deportations.
