I would also like to point out that the United States didn't actually legalize it through legislation. It was done via a court decision, and a bunch of libs jumped on the bandwagon afterwards.

I also have a huge problem with the way a lot of leftist discuss this issue, and their inability to separate our sometimes very reactionary culture from ideology, turning us into a hivemind. Change takes time and there is a lot of activism working to make things better. Hinging your opinion on us and on your own imperial projects on this is silly and dehumanizing.
