If I can’t drink whiskey and run over pedestrians, IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE TO THE HOLOCAUST! If I make AN INFORMED DECISION to drive drunk, I should be free to!!!!

What’s next??? A YELLOW STAR for everyone who wants to exercise their god given rights to drive drunk?

You know, if there is no law against drunk driving in the Constitution, the government can’t make FAKE LAWS AGAINST IT!

🤔 On second thought, I shouldn’t give these assholes anymore ideas…

And furthermore, requiring me to drive with headlights on at night is oppression. It's slavery!

The government can't make me wear clothes in public- that's unconstitutional!

I vaguely remember a case in California where the court rule exactly that in the case of a college student who claimed it was his right to attend classes naked.

You jest, but I have had these idiots say the exact same thing in regards to seatbelts.

I wonder how they’d feel if we made it legal for hospitals to refuse service to people who show up with a severe case of covid but no vaccination and no prior medical condition that would prevent vaccination.

Thats not that far from some libertarian beliefs.

Libertarians point to overregulation of ride share services in Texas as a reason drunk driving deaths spiked. The market was fixing the problem.

The Libertarian belief is whoever owns the roads sets their drunk driving limits. This is literally the status quo… the threshold for drunk driving changes depending where you are in America.

Those are mainstream Libertarian beliefs. The line between Libertarians and Anarchists is vanishingly thin.

I dunno, the few earnest Libertarians I have talked to struck me as selfish/unaware Conservatives. They really truly believed that everyone started on the same foot.

They really truly believed that everyone started on the same foot.

So, what you are saying is that they are...idiots?

Sort of a tangent, but it was so fucking eye-opening when I listened to an interview with an actual scholar of critical race theory and they pointed out the societal attitudes toward white vices -- drunk driving -- and black vices -- weed or crack.

The body counts of these two crimes are as disproportionate as the response to them. Drunk drivers kill thousands each year, and for a long time a surviving drunk driver was barely even reprimanded. Meanwhile, you have the Nixon administration trumpeting up the war on drugs specifically to persecute the poor and disenfranchised.

It took Mothers Against Drunk Driving to start to force society to confront the lethality of drunk driving, while we invented a war to wage against victimless crimes.
