    You say that like they didnt legalize gay marriage, elect LGBTQ allies, strengthen and protect abortion laws in response to the roe vs wade overturner, and legalize pot. And that’s just to name a few.

    Oh and you don’t lose your house if you have to go to the hospital without insurance.

    Say what you will about Mexico, but in some aspects it’s more advanced than United States. At least when it comes to the red states.

      I didn’t say anything like that in my statement. I also didn’t imply anything like that in my statement.

      Don’t put words into people’s mouths.

        lol there is no way Narcos want legalized drugs. Not that weed makes up any significant percentage of their business.

          Why wouldn’t they want to sell a secondary product without any government meddling (not that the government has that much power lol)

            Legalization would bring in more government meddling, not less. Exactly as you said, the government doesn’t have that much power. Cartels currently have full control of production, distribution and profits. They do not want regulations, taxes and dealing with competition in uhh… less confrontational ways. That’s even if they’d be allowed into the market, which is unlikely.
