But fentanyl activists say Trump is at least drawing attention to the issue, whereas the Biden administration, they say, is not.

“We don’t feel seen, we don’t feel heard,” said Allen. “I’m surprised that somebody hasn’t realized or figured out that this is a huge population of people, that if we believe that you were going to respond to this and do something about it, you could very easily earn our favor.”

Why is there a white woman on the pic? It’s usually blacks who die from this like George Floyd (wife beater)

George Floyd died from a cop kneeling on his back.

Your rampant ignorance is not only stunning, but incredibly offensive.

Be better.

Who do so many people say fentan-all instead of fentan-ill?

Leave it to the neoliberals to be both somehow too hard and too soft on drugs and piss off the majority of the country.

They won’t decriminalize the harmless stuff everyone wants legalized, but also won’t crack down on stuff like the opioid epidemic.

For what it’s worth, cracking down on drugs only makes it harder for people struggling with addiction.

The war on drugs only wasted shit loads of money to fuel the prison labor industry.

Sounds like we need to do it better.

For all the gun deaths liberals like to talk about, these newer drugs are more dangerous and are the #2 killer after COVID-19 (and now that vaccination is widespread, Fentanyl is probably #1 now).

This can very well become a Democrat / Liberal weakness if y’all let it faster. Some kind of acknowledgement or even policy to address this large scale killer of Americans is needed.

What exactly do you think the democrats are trying to do?

The GOP are pissed because they don’t get to be assholes with harm reduction and other actual solutions.

To the GOP goobers helping people, isn’t the goal.

Instead of downvoting because you think the title makes the article pro-Trump, people should actually read the article

The title does make the article pro-Trump.

It takes what 8 paragraphs before statements like “The reality of fentanyl is that neither party has a magic-bullet solution.” Start to appear. Considering the average reader barely gets beyond 5 paragraphs and journalists KNOW this, it is standard agenda-forwarding writing.

You see this all the time with Faux News: 10 paragraphs of 'Bidenz comin tah take yer BBQ burgers away!" followed by “policy proposal does not encompass propane tanks for home use” in fine print where possible.

There is almost certainly a much better version of this article out there. I’ll edit a link in when I find it.

edit: here’s a better version imo.

Yea, it turns out that in the throes of grief we’re pretty fucking vulnerable to conmen - this is why elder theft often takes place right after the loss of a spouse when someone falsely offers comfort.
