Watch: America is an "out-of-control kid" who needs a mom

I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that when a country, and frankly a species, can’t adult, the problem is the country or the species, not the members telling it it needs to adult.

As for the substantive points, I agree with most of her proposals except the “if they’re criminals, they’re criminals”, because the problem isn’t that the insurrectionists broke the law, it’s that they tried to overthrow democracy. But I think her underlying point is that the insurrectionists are enjoying privilege that most on the wrong side of the law aren’t afforded, which should be infuriating, if not surprising, to anyone.

And the “truth and broadcasting law” is a terrible idea; I don’t trust any prevailing power structure to define truth and prosecute misinformation. That never ends well.

But with her delivery I take no issue. And I’d probably vote for her over the majority of Americans who seek political office.
