This very special genius sees no contradiction when he complains about government overreach and then praises it a few seconds later.
Davram Stiefler: Overturning of Roe v. Wade. We want to find out what people think about it.
Very stable genius:
I think it's wonderful. You know, I'm glad they did it.
Davram Stiefler:
Right. So how do you feel about government kind of telling people what they can and can't do?
Very stable genius:
Oh, I don't like it at all. The government needs to stay out of our business.
Davram Stiefler:
Right. But in that instance, they actually are kind of in people's business.
Very stable genius:
Well, I'm sure they are, you know, none of them are like it, you know, and they're going to do everything they can to, to stop a lot of these states from doing that.
Davram Stiefler:
Stop a lot of states from allowing abortions.
Very stable genius:
Abortions, you know, so yeah, it is what it is. I'm glad that happened.
Davram Stiefler:
So in that instance, you are glad that the government has kind of come in and told people what they they can and can't do.
Very stable genius:
I'm glad that the Supreme Court did what they did.
