    Do you think the current administration gives a shit if a move is unpopular? That’s their whole shtick.

    The ban already happened. There was nothing massively unpopular about it. And whoever lets the exemption lapse doesn’t have to take the heat for it, since they can just blame it on Biden.

      It was massively unpopular among the relevant demographic, the Tiktok user. Those are the ones you would want to reach obviously.
