You know what's going on here, right?
There is nothing a white conservative is more positive about than if black people aren't hoeing the fields and picking the cotton all the livelong day, they'll just sit around doing drugs.
But to add injury to insult...

...this is complete bullshit. This deployment of military assets to stop drugs. It's a fucking joke.
I've done this mission. Boy, have I. It's worse than useless. You could deploy every navy ship and you wouldn't put a dent in the drug trade.

And nobody wants you to. Not the DEA, not the BATF, not the FBI, or the CIA, or the cops, the Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security and sure as hell not Americans -- who fucking love all the drugs.

The worst thing for drug cops would be the end of drug use.
There's so much fucking money, so much corruption, it's the wild west. There's NO accountability. Nobody knows what anybody else is doing. It's all bullshit, ALL of, everybody's hand in everybody's pocket.

Drugs are a supply and demand market with just in time delivery. Meaning that your measure of effectiveness is the price on the street. And no matter how much you intercept, the price doesn't change significantly.
I.e. You're having NO effect at all.

For professional military, for US Navy Sailors and US Coast Guardsmen, counter narcotics deployments are the worse, most demoralizing, bullshit mission you can be sent to do. The people running the operation back in Key West undercut you at EVERY turn. It's ALL bullshit.

It's worse than bullshit, because you're out there, risking your life and the lives of your people and it DOESN'T MAKE ONE GODDAMNED IOTA OF DIFFERENCE.
The simple truth of the matter is that Americans love drugs and they're going to get them. No matter what.

And the people allegedly running the War on Drugs love the money and the power and the prestige and the importance of it all.
Nobody wants it to end. Nobody.

The War on Drugs has always been about racism and false assumptions. This surge puts our people into harm's way AND increases their risk of contracting the virus, for some bullshit republican idea that if poor people get a check, instead of paying the rent they'll buy drugs.
