Content warning: Metropolis (anime) spoilers

I’m Sick Of Old Computers
Living in the wake of the new fascism brought on by white Boomers’ “Make America Great Again” longings for some half-remembered better past, one would think that millennials would be more cautious about the evils of misplaced nostalgia.

What would the people who wrote, and ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment have thought about this Supreme Court decision?
