        Neither did MAGA 10 years ago. Maybe the realignment is just starting.

        This reminds me of the comment from the guy on Odd Lots - who after Trump can effectively ‘straddle the two Ps’ (populism and Peter Thiel, the latter being an avatar for the tech right)

                      How does that jive with Trump’s policy to not allow states to regulate AI?

                          The Constitution is silent on tech developments. It's fair game for the states.

                              I'm entirely confident that AI oversight will be a bipartisan priority.

                                Can we get rid of executive orders already? Or substantially reduce the ability to use it and bypass the legislative branch?

                                    I think not long from now when it sinks in a lot of Trump’s supporters are going to be pissed that he didn’t even try to introduce immigration reform legislation. I don’t think it would have been hard to pass something reforming asylum laws, for example.

                                      It looks to me the majority of Trump's supporter is more into performative pwning of the libs than fixing the immigration system.

                                        President Trump agrees with you!!!

                                        In 2012, Trump tweeted, "Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

                                        During a campaign event in 2016, he remarked, "The country wasn’t based on executive orders... It’s a basic disaster."

                                          Agreed, totally. If there’s no effort in this direction it was just an election issue.
