But in the end it is a crap product that will stall a ton of American lives from being productive and we will get them all on public assistance.
Until you can pay for the damage I suggest you don’t advocate for this disaster.
Attempting to wrap the disaster in a flag is the worst as well IMO.

How am I wrapping a disaster in the flag? Isn't the War on Drugs already a disaster "wrapped in a flag" (or at least 'conservative'?

To think like that is to oppose correcting fundamentally flawed policy/"laws" — consider the GCA and it's prohibited persons, the law is ex post facto in its nature and therefore prohibited by the Constitution, but you could argue against repealing it because to do so would allow "bad people" [felons] to carry arms.

So?
Isn't the real question here how much authority the federal government has to dictate the parameters of your life?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
― C.S. Lewis
