Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

    trump and by proxy his supporters, cherry pick laws (much like many religious folk do with their biblical teachings) and those who enforce them, openly muses and acts on disobeying long standing, precedented law. congress and the supreme court have abdicated any semblance of independence to the culture cult. for example: trump is trying to end birthright citizenship.

    all those second amendment defenders cry foul of any changes to it in the name of protection from tyrannical government, yet tyrannical government is here and no one bats an eye.

    history is repeating itself, especially when you’re following nazi playbooks. How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Dayshttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/01/hitler-germany-constitution-authoritarianism/681233/

    there is absolutely nothing normal about what’s going on and yet trigger fingers stand idly by as rome burns

      Tell me what you would have me do with my guns. I can arm the entire block, if they weren’t already. Young and old, white and black, middle class and poor, gun in every house, and usually several. I know because I know my neighbors.

      What exactly should the little old black lady across the street do with her pistols? Name it. SPEAK OUT.

      I have one life to defend my legal, brown, immigrant wife. And I have two small children I will leave without a father.

      Whatever you tell me to do, it better fucking count for something. I am listening and more than ready. Go.
