    Democrats will happily disarm everyone and hand the keys to the nation to the Republicans. The recent exhaltation of David Hogg in the party is proof. Not even January 6th 2021 will change their minds, they will never stop their anti gun crusade.

    The justice system is not meant to protect us as we can all plainly see. We are on our own.

        The DNC is bought and paid for by oligarchs. Almost all of the richest US billionaires lean Democrat. Musk is an anomaly, and look how he’s been targeted. I’m not saying it’s entirely unmerited.

        So of course the oligarchs want the working class disarmed. And they don’t want populist candidates who want to improve people’s lives and cut into profits which is why the Democrats haven’t had a real primary in awhile.

        The oligarchs also fund republicans hoping to control them the same way, but Trump got elected anyway. You might actually hate him 20% less if the bought corporate media hadn’t been weaponized against him. A lot of his positions were Democrat positions twenty years ago. Hillary had some crazy “deport the illegals” quotes back in the day.

      Democrats will happily disarm everyone and hand the keys to the nation to the Republicans.

      Even today when the Republicans are years-deep into proving that all the worst things we’ve ever suspected about them and their motives are true (and more) folks are still more worried D wants to come take their guns away.

      R is literally dismantling our government and trampling the rights of an ever-growing segment of our population, on a speed run to authoritarianism, but folks are still yelling about that tired bogeyman instead of using the 2A as they have always claimed they can’t wait to do. (Edited to add: And I’m not even suggesting anything super dramatic. A few folks open carrying would probably be enough. You know, like all the magas that camped outside of polling places with their AR for purposes that were 100% not voter intimidation.)

      You will scream about how Dems want your guns all the way up until the brownshirts show up to take them. The fuck is wrong with some of you?

        For all those reasons you named, are exactly the reasons I don’t want Dems curtailing the right to keep and bear arms.

        Notice ICE focusing on low gun ownership regions?

        Nobody defended the Republicans, in fact the premise of the comment you are replying to is about how bad the Republicans are and how they need to be resisted.

        How do you plan on resisting once you’ve been disarmed? Just vote out fascism? …Yeah that’s always worked.

        The only reason you would want to be disarmed, is so that you have an excuse for your passivity.

          I didn’t suggest they did.

          You seem to be arguing against a point I haven’t made.

          But you are really committed to fearing that decades old bogeyman more than the wolf at your door it seems.

        There is no gap differences between the managerial class of the American empire, they are in solidarity against you.

          That doesn’t change my point whatsoever, even if I agreed with your characterization of the parties, which I do not.
