It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Don’t even get me started on the “other countries can’t regulate tech despite the social harms their products cause because the US has an extreme framing of free speech compared to other Western countries.”

The US can let tech products tear their society apart. That doesn’t mean others have to too.
