I should call up my local privacy-contrarian legislators (I'm in a purple state) and ideate cookie banners as being a populist tool of the opposing party. And if that doesn't get them, as a tool for foreign powers to slow American tech startups and innovation. Bombastic take, but something you could plausibly sell.
The hope would be to get our lawmakers to put forth legislation banning the use of cookie banners and popups on US websites entirely. That's a cross-cutting solution that would force websites to immediately remedy their frontends.
If it ever came to pass, web operators would be doing a version of the "two buttons" meme wondering which jurisdiction to comply with. Hiring lawyers to determine if IP geolocation is a viable out, but how to respect EU residents abroad, etc.
