Ascribe blame, please! The people behind this woke insanity should admit their ideology was fundamentally misguided.

Criminal justice reform has erringly killed people in Oregon!
Among the delusional pro-crime experiments there was the decriminalization of drugs. Including deadly substances like meth and fentanyl. The results were surprising to liberals and unsurprising to anyone cognitively capable of accumulating and retaining an ounce of common sense.
– In 2019, 280 people died of a drug overdose in Oregon.
– Fatalities rose every year after, more than tripling by 2022, when 956 died. And last year, even more people died, according to preliminary data.
– Each month the number has been higher than the previous year, reaching 628 in June, and
– The state is still compiling data for 2023, but if the trends continue, the total would reach 1,250 deaths from an overdose.
Looking at this another way:
On average, more than 90 Oregonians
die every month from overdoses.
So of course, the people behind this admitted they were wrong and their ideology was fundamentally misguided, right?
Not ‘NO.’ But, ‘HELL NO.’
Instead, they spent the past two years explaining why—like Communism—their experiment in killing everyone was great, only it was not implemented the right way.
That was literally the argument made by ProPublica.
Still, with all the corpses piling up, Oregon FINALLY reversed course moved toward criminalizing drugs.
At least enough to fool the suckers. And by suckers, I mean voters.
In practice, the way that ‘deflection’ operates in Oregon, those arrested will be given information about drug treatment facilities. And when that fails to bring overdoses down, the media and ‘experts’ will claim they were right and decriminalizing fentanyl had nothing to do with the overdoses. And they’ll urge decriminalizing it again.
In the meantime, check-out this nutty video of Oregon health officials at their best.
Final thought, two questions: Is Oregon beyond hope? Will the state ever return to sensible, adult, Conservative leadership?
