The policy, as stated by RFK is a progressive, left wing, anti punishment, anti incarceration, pro rehabilitation with origins in Europe.
Implementation could be right wing but at face value this policy is left wing.
Centrists will call anything progressive. Remember this shit next time a centrist calls one of their own number a progressive. They think concentration camps are progressive. They think concentration camps are progress itself.
Rehabilitation of illegal drugs in place of incarceration is undeniably left wing.
Treatment for SSRI addiction was voluntary, not authoritarian.
But you do have a point. Vigilance is important. Concentration camps were not announced, but an executive order could turn a "farm" into one overnight.
The clue to the intentions will be in the scale of this policy. 2 farms is not worrying. 200 farms is.
