The "righties" tell you what's going to go wrong and that we need to double down on harsher penalties.

We have, unfortunately, been listening to their unsupported nonsense for decades now and the result is a massive mess and severe consequences. 

The "righties" have NOTHING to contribute to the debate. It is time to move on and solve the problem by ignoring everything that they say and doing the opposite. They got us into this mess and WILL NOT get us out.
