Other than rewording a little to promote the sarcasm: they functionally don't need to do anything.

You say it with a gay lisp. Bonus points if you do the gay lisp with a french accent.
I'm wondering if the FTC might need to get involved here; having two of the biggest purveyors of fake news under one corporate umbrella might raise concerns about a monopoly, no?
Has anyone told her that they don't need her inane bullshit as distractions anymore?
It's not exactly a conspiracy theory, but it's something a far-right media influencer said, so...

So if the state that Emily Wilson lives in decided to legalize enslaving white women, she'd quickly find herself a master so as not to come off like a big ol' hypocrite?
People who approve of oppression always believe they'll be the oppressors.
I wonder if it's occurred to her yet that she's a woman following the party that wants to turn women into domestic slaves. Probably not.

And why would it? The leopards would never eat the faces of their supporters.

This is just the inevitable outcome of Gen Z's thought process.
First off, slavery is not "special". Understand it is only illegal because the 13th amendment says it is. Just like alcohol was illegal because the 18th amendment said it was...right up until the 21st amendment reversed that law. Congress could wake up tomorrow, go in to work, and by tomorrow afternoon, the 13th amendment could be repealed. I'm being glib about the details, and there's many reasons not to expect that to happen, but that is how this democracy works.
Ignore the state's rights issue, because she doesn't really care about that. Technically, she didn't say states should be able to legalize slavery if they feel like it, she said, "if everyone in the state wants something, go ahead and have it." Her hypothetical is, if everyone is okay with some people being owned as property, why should it be still be banned?
This is an extension of the Gen Z mentality that your opinion is irrelevant unless you have the authority to enforce it. Don't like the tattoo idea your friend has? Well it's her body, not yours, so you can't control her and you don't get a say. Your opinion is NULLIFIED because you can't force it on her. You can't tell them what to do, unless you CAN. Facts, arguments, rational considerations, objective moral standards...these all fall away because so long as she has the RIGHT to do what she wants, she can and she will.
"Everything not forbidden is compulsory."
And so where some Gen Zers have walked themselves in a circle is the idea that the law doesn't protect them, it deprives them of a choice. If people want to smoke pot, the law should change to let them. If women want to have abortions, the law should let them. And if people want to sell their bodies as property, well...that should be their choice too, then, right? Who are we to tell them otherwise if they WANT to?
Okay, boomer.
No, she said if everyone wants something, they should go ahead and have it. If they had gone a step further and asked "so if everyone in the nation wanted slavery, that should be okay too?", you don't think she'd triple-down?
This woman has no concept of what slavery is. She's not a Constitutional scholar with an informed opinion about states' rights vs. federal oversight. In her brain, the only idea lighting up the board is, "If everyone wants something, why shouldn't they have it?" Rationally, it's almost a Catch-22 that "everyone" would "want" slavery, but that's the scenario in her head, and that would be perfectly fine to her.
