That's just for now. Let the podcast crowd get a hold of it for 24 hours and we'll be hearing about how this is a great idea to protect us from fentanyl/ secure natural resources/ own the libs.

Im not sure - Ben Shapiro has been consistently opposed, for instance. There will always be people who speak in support of presidential action, no matter how asinine but I think those that matter are pretty universally against them.

Apparently that’s already happening since I’m arguing with people in this comment section that Canada is purposely letting people make fentanyl and protecting drug dealers and so this is actually all Canada’s fault. Insanity.

I’d love to know which mouthpiece gave this opinion, and I’d love to know how people actually believe it.

The US government *should* be protecting the country from illegal fentanyl production in Canada and Mexico. It is tragic and entirely preventable that the leading cause of death of Americans 18-45 is fentanyl overdose. The previous administration should have never let the epidemic grow this far out of control.
