Last year there were around 112,000 overdose deaths with majority due to illegal fentanyl. That is roughly 2.4 times the number of Americans dying to guns in 2023.
It's actually much more, as you included suicides by gun in that number. The number of gun related homicides is ~14-15k (up from previous years btw) so it's more like 8 times more deaths from fentanyl than guns.
Quote:Regardless, Biden has been a disaster with the border. Remember when over a million Americans died due to Covid? Biden elected to allow record number of illegals during this stretch. At the time I am assuming the excuse was it was because of how thin border security was due to Covid. But that's obvious bull since nothing has changed since.
This is really indisputable. One of the more interesting things of late is this complete unwillingness to acknowledge any fault in the Dem or their policies. To the point that two prominent left leaning posters here couldn't name a single Dem policy they disagreed with. Even if you think Trump is the literal antichrist you should still be able to find fault in the Dems where it exists. It's like they believe if you acknowledge any problems on the Dem side that it equals an endorsement of Trump. It's interestingly as cult like a behavior as they accuse the MAGA crowd of engaging in.
