I believe only the most liberal politicians are willing to give a shit about the addicts.
They don’t I’m in San Francisco and while on the surface they say platitudes about helping the addicted ….the problem is that most of their constituents (square liberals) those constituents fucking hate addicts. This is why they couldn’t get safe injection centers in SF. All those “liberal” SF citizens showed up and raised hell and blocked it. The ppl that needed it were too sick to go advocate for themselves and would probably not even be let inside the building.
The second San Francisco has a convention or something they bulldoze the homeless people’s tents, arrest them. Etc. SF itself has just switched back to arresting a bunch of drug users. Oregon has repealed their drug decriminalization.
Americans. No matter what their political leanings would hang us all from a tree if they could.
Liberals love rapists, violent criminals, illegal immigrates, Palestine, MAPs, *insert literally any group of discriminated pll* as long as they vote for them. Homeless drugs addicts don’t have IDs and don’t vote so they are not included.
One thing that American liberal voters, politicians and republicans all agree on is that they fucking hate addicts and want them dead. And that includes anyone on legal prescription drugs.
I’ve never voted republican in my life but don’t for a second beleieve that American liberals care about addicts…they don’t and that’s evidenced by the completely opposite backwards approaches America continues to take in spite of other truly liberal countries address this problem well.
American liberals are right wing. Our liberals in government are not like liberals in other countries. Our “liberals” are just a secular brand of Republican.
