It's not unlike saying that if Black people were told to produce their papers in the pre-Civil War era and those papers demonstrated that they were free citizens, they were promptly released.
Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you
That is not, in fact, what ICE does
He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine

Re: the male loneliness epidemic, there is *still* not enough emphasis on how many heterosexual girls and women are staying single out of self-preservation, because the sexual norms that many heterosexual boys and men have adopted are exceptionally dangerous.
