The Politics of Fentanyl

Watch the election spin

The Politics of Fentanyl

Ana Pieters

The 2024 US presidential election is undoubtedly significant, and to truly grasp its implications, it is crucial to delve into the complex issue of fentanyl and its impact on American society. Over the past years, the nation has faced an alarming surge in overdose deaths caused by the synthetic opioid, leaving many communities and families devastated. Fentanyl, which was once only used within hospital settings, has now transformed into a widely available street drug, manufactured by criminal organizations, predominantly in Mexico.

The production process often involves utilizing cheap chemicals that are typically sourced from China. What makes fentanyl particularly dangerous is its frequent presence as a hidden ingredient in various illicit drugs. Consequently, unsuspecting users unknowingly consume this lethal substance, triggering fatal consequences, which in aggregate we see most apparently in the rising opioid overdose rates.

This opioid crisis has left an indelible mark on the population, fostering an atmosphere of fear, despair, and urgency. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, candidates will undoubtedly address the gravity of this issue, offering their own strategies and solutions to combat the fentanyl epidemic.

Ultimately, however, rather than safeguard the well-being of the American people, candidates will offer a spin on the fentanyl crisis that will serve their political ambitions. This is a shame, because what is good for their political careers is anything but that for the American public.
One of the most despicable tactics used by these candidates is fear-mongering. They prey on the understandable fears and concerns of the public, using exaggerated rhetoric and misinformation to manipulate their emotions. They paint a picture of chaos and danger, promising quick and easy solutions that they know will never materialize.

These candidates exploit the vulnerability of those affected by the fentanyl crisis. They offer false hope and empty promises, knowing full well that they cannot deliver on their grandiose proposals. They use the suffering of others as a means to gain sympathy, support, and ultimately votes.

This level of manipulation is not only morally reprehensible, but it has dire consequences for our fight against the fentanyl crisis. By turning the issue into a political game, these candidates distract from the real solutions and resources that are needed to address this epidemic. They prioritize their own gain over the lives of our fellow citizens, perpetuating the cycle of suffering.

Another common strategy is the use of misleading statistics and cherry-picked data. These candidates are not interested in presenting a balanced view; instead, they manipulate the information to fuel fear and push their own agendas. They rely on the public’s limited access to accurate information and use it to their advantage.

Along this vein, a common accompanying, manipulative tactic is the creation of false narratives. These candidates twist stories and manipulate events to fit their own narrative, painting themselves as saviors while disregarding the complexities of the crisis. They feed into our desire for a simple solution, offering quick fixes that are unrealistic and ineffective.

These politicians prey on the emotions of the public, appealing to our fear, anger, and sadness. They know that emotions can cloud judgment and lead us to make decisions based on impulse rather than rationality. By tapping into our vulnerabilities, they can manipulate us into supporting their policies and agendas.

These candidates often make grandiose claims about their commitment to combating the fentanyl crisis. They promise to allocate significant resources and implement comprehensive strategies. However, once in office, these promises often vanish into thin air. The urgency and dedication they displayed during their campaigns are conveniently forgotten, leaving us with hollow words and broken promises.

This is nothing more than exploiting the desperation of those affected by the crisis. They know that victims and their families yearn for solutions and are willing to grasp at any glimmer of hope. Taking advantage of this vulnerability, candidates offer hope in the form of rehabilitation programs, enforcement measures, and increased support. Yet, all too often, these promises remain unfulfilled, leaving the victims and their loved ones feeling betrayed and further disillusioned.

Perhaps most disheartening is the lack of accountability. These politicians conveniently shift blame onto others, sidestepping their own responsibility to take decisive action. They create a culture of finger-pointing and excuses, avoiding the necessary conversations and actions that could truly address the fentanyl crisis.

The sad thing about it all is that it makes for good politics and even better campaigning. That is why we can expect to see plenty of it in the coming months.
