    The democratic governor in my state recently succeeded in a years long endeavor to legalize gambling. That’s deregulation too

        Well… Why not? How is it different? Deregulation generally refers to smaller loosenings(and smaller legalizations) rather than outright legalization- but that’s a kinda arbitrary distinction

          Legalization:- whether or not it’s legal to do something.

          Deregulation:- removing rules and enforcement around something that’s already legal.

          Like I said, it’s subtle.
