Re: your controversial take
If kids are old enough to vote and change the entire direction of the country, then IMO they are also responsible enough to drive, drink alcohol, handle firearms, etc… there’s a reason the age of adulthood is usually roughly 18, because it’s when human brains are mostly fully developed. I wouldn’t trust a TikTok addled teenager not to vote for the Labubu party just for the meme. I know I would have as a kid lol
