  Given the other fucked up things she would do to the country if she got any power, cheap darts will be the least of our problems. If she even does it, rather than promising to and then being told after the election that promise wasn’t actually funded and Gina doesn’t want it, so tough luck.

  She knows her base are the sort of people who would lap this shit up, ignoring any long term effects in favour of libertarianism.

  Remember - you’re not voting for the party leader alone.

  Hell, you’re not even voting for the party as a whole.

  You’re voting for the party’s donors. In this case, it’s big tobacco who want their cut.

  A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

  They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

  I wouldn’t keep stealing Ferraris if they weren’t so expensive, so they should cut the cost to something more reasonable and it’ll cut the crime rate.

  Totally expected from a populist in the pocket of big business.
