I imagine they’re talking about the proliferation of online sports betting in the last few years. I’m not one to give the GOP the benefit of the doubt. But they certainly aren’t the only ones with a hand at spreading gambling addiction across America.

Well. This is just me, a Kansan who noticed how widespread things became around the same time Kansas legalized sports betting. But the fact it’s easily accessible and there are betting apps for global events, means gambling addiction is very much a political issue.

With how it was legislated nationwide and how the sitting president is openly gambling with our country on Kalshi, American politics and gambling cannot be extricated from each other. And actually, that feels like a cornerstone of America’s founding. Gambling on the continuation of the republic.
