About the SAVE America Act and Amelia

The gang debates the SAVE America Act, the proposal requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters say it strengthens election integrity, while opponents argue noncitizen voting is already illegal and rare and warn the documentation requirements could disenfranchise eligible voters. Then they turn to “Amelia,” the purple haired character from a UK government-backed anti-extremism game called Pathways, who became an unlikely internet mascot after critics argued her concerns about immigration and national identity were framed as extremism. How exactly did a government messaging tool turn into a meme?
