It’s surprisingly not that bipartisan. The left in this country (and Canada too, apparently) firmly believes that cartels from Central and South America should be able to run drugs up here, and many of them legitimately believe that all drugs should be legal and that dealers should not be punished. And literally anything that stops the flow of third-world migrants makes them mad. I can’t stress enough that Leftist/Democrat policy makes sense if you view it through a lens of trying to ruin their own countries as fast as possible.It's a really weird stance to take. The opioid/fentanyl crisis is a pretty bipartisan issue. If anything, you'd think an empathetic progressive would be especially concerned given how it impacts minority and medically underserved communities.
My guess is he's heard Trump talk about it so he assumes the stance he's supposed to take is to support it?
Speaking of how fentanyl impacts minorities, the cartels were running fentanyl up to the various native reservations. Natives were getting addicted and dying at high rates (I do think white Americans were some of the worst affected by this most recent opioid epidemic but still!). This brings up my biggest pet peeve about the whole immigration issue - why was mass immigration/ colonization a horrible atrocity when the Conquistadors or Englishmen did it, but not now? Do the people who espouse it think all the Native Americans are extinct? How does bringing anyone at all over to these continents help them? They just become a smaller and smaller part of the electorate and there are less funds to give to them because Mexicans want to commit welfare fraud. And how does letting the descendants of conquistadors sell them drugs which kill them help the native Americans?
