1. El Fentanilo como Pretexto para Agendas Antiinmigrantes.
Una idea central en los posteos es que el interés republicano en el fentanilo no es genuino, sino una estrategia para justificar políticas xenófobas, racistas y antiinmigración, utilizando la droga como un "caballo de Troya" para ganar apoyo público.
- The right wing’s fixation on fentanyl is a trojan horse for advancing their xenophobic, racist, and extreme anti-immigration agenda.
- Fentanyl was a red herring to increase support for deportations. And most fentanyl is smuggled into the country by americans.
- They only care about fentanyl insofar as it provides a rationale for hostility against migrants and our neighbors.
- Fentanyl was always a red herring to justify deporting brown people who aren’t the main smugglers anyway. Republicans blah-blahing about fentanyl don’t actually care.
- They never cared about fentanyl. They never cared about terrorists supposedly coming across the border. They never cared about child trafficking. They just hate brown people.
2. Acusaciones de Indiferencia hacia la Adicción y las Víctimas.
Los textos argumentan que los republicanos no tienen un interés real en salvar las vidas de las personas adictas. Se les acusa de recortar programas de ayuda y de mostrar una falta de empatía general hacia los problemas sociales que contribuyen a la drogadicción.
- The important thing to remember is that the republicans don't give a flying shit about people addicted to fentanyl and are cutting programs to deal with the crisis.
- Republicans never cared about the overdose deaths of your drug-addicted sons or daughters. Now, they’re going to let them die.
- Republicans don’t really care about saving lives from drugs, fentanyl etc.they just need a consistently large enough number of deaths to campaign on .
- How could these assholes care about fentanyl when they show they care less about children starving to death, homelessness, no healthcare, no after-school care, and leaving women to die in hospital parking lots.
- All this blistering about fentanyl coming into the country, yet crickets about what's being done for the addicts. You know, this reminds me of another republican issue.
3. Una Herramienta de Distracción y Miedo Político.
Se postula que el fentanilo es utilizado como una palabra clave para generar miedo y distraer a los votantes de otros temas. Es visto como un "punto de conversación" político en lugar de un problema de salud pública que se busca resolver activamente.
- They’re just using fentanyl to scare people and distract. They don’t actually care about solving the problem of drug addiction, just pedaling this narratives to their voters “that the world is scary.”.
- Sounds like they want to keep fentanyl as a republican talking point. Just like they wanted to keep immigration as a talking point. Politics over people.
- Fentanyl is just a political tool for these politicians, all for their own benefit. They don't give a rat's ass about us dying.
- It's not about fentanyl. That's a distraction. Stay focused on the evil they do.
- Republicans have no incentive to stop the flow of fentanyl into the us because then they'd have nothing to run on.
4. Hipocresía y Doble Discurso en la Crisis de Opioides.
Los comentarios señalan una contradicción en el discurso republicano, comparando su postura sobre el fentanilo con su defensa de las armas. También se menciona que la preocupación surgió principalmente cuando la crisis afectó a comunidades blancas, en contraste con su actitud durante la epidemia de crack.
- I keep waiting for someone to say, "fentanyl doesn't kill people; people kill themseves," like the gop always says about guns.
- Funny how when reagan allowed colombian drug runners to come through the border and flood minority communities with crack republicans didn't give a damn, but fentanyl hurts white people, so.you get it.
- They care more about fentanyl deaths than gun death republicans are filthy disgusting pigs.
- So according to trump and republicans, it is fine for americans to die from new and old diseases, women in pregnancy or childbirth, starvation, pollution, unregulated consumer products, but somehow they draw the line at fentanyl?
- I keep thinking about how republicans never really cared about drug addiction & thought addicts were criminals until, of course, white suburban folks started becoming addicted to & dying from things like fentanyl. Then it was a tragedy & "we must do something".
