It's called the Shirley exemption. Because surely there's an exemption for whatever in this incredibly restrictive law, right?
It doesn't do the thing that it says it does, because there must be an exemption.
The Shirley exemption is how most moderates are fooled into supporting the most restrictive, horrible, laws that the far right keeps pushing. They believe in the Shirley exemption, even when the law specifically says that there are no exemptions.
And yes, the fascists then prove that the only exemptions are to themselves.
Like the lady who voted for trump to deport illegal immigrants only for her husband to be deported.
