Wash Post/ABC: USA split in pot legalization

[DemPGH]

It's really cool to be on the left in the USA and watch so many of these taboos break down all over the place. I of course support legalizing it.

The stigma about atheism will be the next one to break down, I think, and it will be interesting to see how long that takes and whether or not the right makes any organized effort to demonize non-believers next. Of course there aren't laws per se on that, but we all know they love to have bad guys. They may just try to re-identify poor people as the bad guys.

when did republicans stop doing that?

I mean focus on it with welfare queen talk and so on like what Reagan did (but maybe that was an '80s thing). Craft messages about it. I think they haven't done well at that lately with the 47% comments and so on, so I think repackaging that stuff would be the most likely direction for the party's "who's the enemy" messaging.
