    How much would prohibiting caste discrimination or decriminalizing psilocybin increase the deficit?

      That’s the wrong question.

      “How can this law be exploited.” Or “does it make sense to put another law on the books if this is already addressed with existing laws”

      If you take the specified reason, then it’s explicitly cited as reason #2. But the backlash is manufactured by progressives and exploited by conservatives to incubate in-fighting. Don’t fall for it.

        “You are forbidden from asking questions we don’t like. Those are wrong questions. Being anything shy of worshipful every time your party fails you is working with conservatives because we say so. Now excuse us while we capitulate to conservatives and order you to shut up and be happy about it again.”
