Is harm reduction really such a difficult concept?

As an American, let me be very clear here. Americans, as a whole, are very, very, very dumb. And dumb people operate almost entirely based off their feelings, not their intellect.

To a dumb person, yeah, harm reduction is actually a difficult concept to wrap their mind around.

I've been here my whole life, and honestly, there really are just a lot of dumb people here. Which is why I don't really see any of this getting better after Trump is gone. We'll just keep making dumb decisions because dumb people make dumb decisions.

The common sentiment seems to be "I'll rather live in a fascist dictatorship than vote democrats" while still thinking that's any different from supporting republicans, so I guess I have to admit you do have a point...
