    I’d focus less on the laws being unbalanced. We have a lot of laws, but we didn’t make them for no reason.

    The part to focus on is that we’ve failed to give people the grounding they need to know how to engage with our government.

    It’s on them that they dug in so deep despite plenty of people saying “uh, that’s bullshit”, or choosing to ignore bad news, but it’s on society that they didn’t get the tools for not getting in trouble in the first place.

    Plenty of people fuck out their lives and don’t go off the deep end. So it’s partly on them, but also we can do more to help people not fuck up their lives.
