Did we know Trump was going to use "anti-drug" rhetoric to drive policy? Yes. Did we suspect he would rely on it to justify extra-judicial targeting of alleged drug dealers? Yup. Did we realize he would use it to threaten the sovereignty of our Canadian neighbors? No, but perhaps we should have.

Trump is setting a new “anti-drug” frame for his supporters. Next, we’ll see content creators generate evidence to fit this frame, and news influencers work to amplify that evidence, reinforcing the frame. Soon, we’ll see this political propaganda machine begin to mobilize upon that evidence.
