I think you're overreacting, until he provides more details than the broad descriptions he laid out. Your concerns are valid, but so is the justification, and all he really said was introducing the death penalty. He didn't list specific drugs that would incur the penalty, or the definition of dealing, or any details at all. He's generally been a libertarian, and respected the law, so assuming he wants to be a homicidal tyrant is a big leap based just on this.
Death penalty for voluntary transactions is dangerous beyond all reason. Give government this one power and they have the power of life and death over everyone.
So you trust Trump, great. What about the next, and the next... This is INSANE. How can so many people who see the evil behind government want this power for government?
Id have to see what he means. Its not something that should be allowed. Its still handing the power to the government to decide what a drug is and use that to eliminate opposition in the future.
Whats evil is knowing someone is an addict and using that against them to make money. Its not voluntary. I grew up arround addicts and there is no choice for them. They HAVE to get the drugs to satisfy that craving. Having said that. I dont agree with giving the death penalty to your everyday weed dealer. But at the same time. If you cant sell drugs. What are you actually losing?
You think you'll pick and choose. But what really happens is that in 10 years a new strain of covid spreads and ivermectin dealers are shot dead in the streets.
Give this power to government and you live under an oppressive regime with the power to frame and kill anyone.
Have you ever watched cops on Fox Nation? Most people they stop are nothing but Meth or Heroin addicts! I see meth heads all the time around my local area in central Florida! They are usually nut cases tweaking out and their bodies look like death warmed over! I feel people that sell these drugs should be dealt with accordingly! Btw- People that do pot nowadays, don't seem to be satisfied and they are now buying Spice! There's got to be a line in the sand sometime!
We aren't talking prostitution here buddy we are talking dangerous drugs and the evil people that bring them to our streets and destroy others with their greed.
In all of human history, the worst penalties are for the smallest dealers while the "Drug Lords" live long lives in luxury.
This is horrifying. The amount of evil this allows is staggering. Trump must believe himself to be god emperor.

I agree.
u/cryofreeze is biting off more than he can chew with his "Trump is untrustworthy" statement

It WILL be abused.

There is no wiggle room with a death penalty for voluntary transactions. It's tyranny...it's evil.

Do you buy and sell drugs? Drugs have changed a lot since my druggie days 60's and 70's! Getting high on life is the only way to go!
I agree about high on life, but killing adults for voluntary transactions is evil. Pure and simple.

Maybe Trump is trying to reverse this injustice.
