Prisons will be filled and they want it to be filled because for profit prisons donate to them

Yes because society was more conservative further back in time you go

@james j are you kidding me????? PLEASE give me an example of ONE (lets say 2 is better) LAWS that were EVE changed in LESS THAN 20 YEARS....

please dont say stupid things and dont expect people to call you out

We are at point where most of society is less conservatives so politicians are more free to be less conservative

However republicans still only placate to conservative middle America

@james j please dont ignore what I asked

Please just fear monger and pretend for profit prisons are for the gop

We would need to explore the motive and who benefits to know if there would be reversal. If someone in power gains significantly at the cost of the community, the law is more likely to stand.

Will never decriminalize

I'm a republican, Trump is republican, we did prison reform, Dems DID NOT....

and again, please give me 1-2 examples of those "changing" laws you are imagining

You mean the thing that conservatives blocked for decades

Obama had presidency, house, and senate for 2 years during his term!!!!

he could have done it with a snap

Yeah and that was one the biggest criticism from the left. He did not want to rock the boat

We are no longer in that position anymore

PLEASE BRING at least 1 FACT to each major argument

Most of society is on board

this is EXHAUSTING, ALL you keep saying is the sky is falling

You are just fear mongering about the left

LOL

Yeah because that’s all you are doing

You act like Obama was some leftist politician

I JUST GAVE YOU FACTS... you said to that THE SKY IS FALLING

you couldnt even quote me on one thing and say something contradictory with fact instead of imaginary unicorns

You gave me things that have nothing to do with decriminalization, something you will never see with a republican government

I agree Obama should have done more in his first term when he had the house and senate but he was too scared of conservative backlash

I don’t think Biden will do anything either

It’s all about 2024

Biden is much more moderate than Obama. What we have is a Republican president pretending to care about minority causes.

This is partially true

However I still think there is a better chance to push a agenda focused more on helping socio/economic mobility with democrats in charge than with any republican government

Maybe don’t get your news from internet memes https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5764191002 @Eden

I think you may not have necessary intelligence to separate fact from opinion from conjecture

All you have is conjecture

You will never get any decriminalization under a republican government

You will only have a party that wants to feed the for profit prison system

we were talking about prison reform, I told you:

Dems will all together push for decriminalization of drug possession and drug use (which I'm absolutely FOR), but they will also SLIP INTO THE BILL things like petty theft less than 1k, petty breakins to the cars, anything that has to do with homelessness and drug use. SO

THE EFFECT: there will be no accountability for any behavior, especially among minorities. There will be more DUIs, there will be more violence against regular folks (due to theft and no money), and more severe violence because on the TRADE side there will be more brutality due to higher profits and no accountability on small volume sales and usage.... means drug lords will go wild!

Yes you changed the subject from decriminalize @Eden

Turns out Obama did actually instill prison reform @Eden
