He’s done some good work on the executive level—pardoned a bunch of people w/ marijuana convictions and expunged arrest records. Of course “good” is relative in :amerikkka:

Maybe he’s one of those libertarians who believe that “gay couple should be able to grow weed and own AR15s”

In America, saying “I want gay married couples to protect their marijuana plants with guns” would have made you a freedom-loving libertarian in 2014, and a totalitarian 1984 woke today.
