It was a complete success for Republicans. The number of federal prisoners went up 10 fold from the time Reagan took office, until Obama undertook prison and sentencing reform in 2010. The increased population in these prisons was predominantly black and brown. The War on Drugs, "Zero Tolerance", and minimum sentencing saw blacks and Hispanics locked up in disproportionately larger numbers than white kids, even though drug use among white kids was just as high as it was for minorities. White kids mostly got let off. You couldn't ruin this nice white boy's life over a little old joint, can you?
As a bonus, those convicted of federal charges were stripped of their voting rights. I notice that Republicans are fighting tooth and claw to keep convicted felons from getting their vote back once their sentences have been completed. Isn't that "special"?
And while Republicans were busy locking up every young black male or Hispanic who smoked a joint, they decried the number of minority children growing up in single parent homes. Ding, Ding, Ding, We've hit the Republican trifecta!!! Proving minorities are less moral, more criminal, and bad parents to boot.
The right is still parroting all of Reagan's lies about "urban" life. 80% of black children do have their father in their lives. The "Welfare Queen" never existed
The War on Drugs has been a major failure
Decriminalizing Marijuana has been successful around the country in spite of Republican objections
There is PLENTY of common ground on the budget, healthcare, military, infrastructure, immigration
Conservatives just refuse to take it
Lol. There is common ground on all those issues. Problem is the people are being screwed on all those issues because the ruling class is doing nothing for them.There is PLENTY of common ground on the budget, healthcare, military, infrastructure, immigration

That’s right Sparky. We are divided and we are falling, but it’s all by design.6 pages....and all i can hear ringin' thru my pointy little gourd is.....together we stand, divided we fall......

Name an issue and we can discuss some common groundThere is no common ground.
For example, legalizing/decriminalizing drugs would be a big loss for America, yet would be considered a victory for most Dems.
There is common ground on many issues, which is why the nation is a mess. The ruling class does the bidding not of the people, but of the oligarchy.Name an issue and we can discuss some common ground
The people want common ground not extremism
Why would this be a loss for America?
How do you lose by someone else having the freedom to smoke a joint in their living room vice downing a 5th of Jack going to harm you?

That isn't stopping people from migrating to red states.Conservatives are the ones who are dying not liberals.
Then, why is it that conservatives are dying of Covid while the blue states have lower rates of both disease and death?
I think the pendulum is swinging the other way now, don't you?It was a complete success for Republicans.

Jewish activist groups such as the ADL are on the constant warpath to stamp out even the slightest whiff of any perceived “anti-Semitism.”
Just because you aren't aware of the damage drugs do doesn't mean there's no damage.Why would this be a loss for America?

Drinking Jack hasn't caused millions of immigrants to pile up at the southern border.No more damage than a 5th of Jack and none of you nanny state folks are trying to get that outlawed again.
