Liberal/Prog agitprop: Tell a sad story, blame the other side, and then enter a moral Nonnegotiable Final Judgment against them. No discussion, no negotiation -- just an absolute, unappealable, blistering, FINAL condemnation of the other side, delivered as psywar 24/7/365.

The last time this occurred on a broad scale in the U.S., it ended in the Civil War. So guess how this will work out?

Actually, I would not consider it an incorrect description.
The War on Drugs has degraded 9 of 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights [in excess of 90% if you consider clause-by-clause] and fundamentally damaged the legal rights of every citizen. — when someone talks about 'legalization' they betray themselves as having accepted contraconstitutional precepts, namely that the War on Drugs is valid (even a cursory look at precedent, which I hate, shows it without authority: there is no anti-drug amendment like the 18th).

Exactly right. My thoughts, but better said.
