Left-wing policy agendas have no natural stopping point. Most people don't realize this. And they really don't grasp the consequences.
Lefty cultural dominance means that they can make the "next step" in their agenda seem reasonable. But then there's yet another step and another one. And each incremental step usually seems reasonable because people have been thoroughly desensitized by then. Until it gets so bad that they throw up their hands. It happened in the seventies and it's happening again.
No, legalizing pot or decriminalizing possession is not the stopping point. Here's the next step.
The The Oregon House of Representatives passed a bill decriminalizing possession of small amounts of cocaine, heroin, meth, etc. This is a nice transition from other bills decriminalizing everything from public defecation to shoplifting.
Decriminalization is the first step to legalization and normalization. And then a decade from now, there will be a whole new epidemic.
The good news is that Attorney General Sessions has been skeptical toward such policies. He's old school when it comes to law enforcement. But the consequences will still come due. Pro-crime policies have direct and graphic consequences.
And the left will not stop here. That is what must be understood. It won't stop where you or anyone else thinks is reasonable. It has no stopping point. Pick the most nightmarish scenario. And the left will want to proceed beyond that.
