There is definitely an assumption among some that anything the government would do or a specific party would generally support is for the greater good or well thought out. Call it skepticism, pessimism, or realism, but my first assumption is just about anything a political group, faction, or government wants to do will likely result in a degree of harm.
[1] They didn't know it included certain sex crimes and theft with a weapon
[2] They had faith the state government would be able to set up a magic mental health care system in 90 days after unemployment checks were delayed for almost four months and in a state where DMV regularly experiences outages that last weeks. I mean... maybe the measure is fine, but we'll never know as there's no possible way it was ever going to be implemented the way they sold it to us, and recognizing that is not some indictment of anyone who supports this measure. But alas, I'm just a curmudgeon.
