Is this president extremely concerned about drug dealers and gangs in the US?

Why is he pardoning a drug trafficker?

>>agentu+2w
I understand your point, but it has become a waste of energy to try to point out hypocridy and ideological inconsistency among that group.

It's better to ignore the rational reasons to oppose them and focus on the emotional ones. For starters, people are repulsed by their cruelty.

I disagree, the lukewarm emotion driven campaign ("we're not the other guy!") and lack of any rational strategy or arguments from the oppositon is how these people won in the first place.

Appeal to emotions stands on the trustworthiness/track record of the pleader. The opposition, full of public/private office musical chair players, has been in the pocket of lobbyists/corporate interests - they don't have any standing to plead to emotions (not saying the incumbents do but they have been successful in harnessing their already enraged supporters).
