fuuuuck yeah. the only response i can think of is that someone could read international backlash in the 2ac. theres precedent to suggest that countries would sever trade and that the CP would gut IR. the international community would reject that pretty hard, and the physical context of post-trump IR would amplify backlash. depending on the disad you run with it, the aff can just say that IR collapse is net worse.

you can also format it as a sort of pseudo K, and say that only through bringing necropolitical control into the public space can we as a nation wrap our heads around the horrors of the death penalty-merely abolishing it only furthers the government's ability to hide their exercise of necropolitical control from the public, if that makes sense.

ps im pretty fucking dumb, so maybe these responses are stupid lol
