"cracking down on fentanyl"

The War on Drugs is well-documented to be a racist pretext for mass incarceration and violation of 4th Amendment rights, etc., (see The New Jim Crow for example), so Sanders is either a useful idiot or complicit.

    I mean, yeah, if you're punishing people for consuming the drugs directly, 100%. However, Trump's focus has been more on preventing fentanyl from entering the country.

    Unfortunately, he's still an idiot since the US's own pharmaceutical companies are the primary culprit and he's just using Mexico as a scapegoat, so yeah, you're not wrong lol.
