    When Trump gets shot, they wear ear bandages to support the former President.

    When children get shot, they wear rifle pins to support gun rights.

    In the very same breath, he said “I’m not a Christian.” So you think some of his religious supporters would be concerned. But I guess when your cult leader says something that doesn’t agree with your view of the world, you don’t change your view, you just ignore it.

      You’d think they’d be concerned about the repeated instances of adultery, lying, thievery, bigotry, and idolatry. Then again, when offered the choice between Jesus and the criminal, the angry mob chose the criminal. So maybe they’re not that far off brand.

    It only means that one person’s tyrant is just another person’s president. The only tyrant they want is one that agrees with them.

    Trump has convinced them to ‘fight’ their fellow Americans for some unknown ‘freedoms’ they think they’re losing. Mostly freedom to religiously oppress those they disagree with, and freedom to be racist bigots.

      The Puritans were religiously oppressed into leaving England for the New World. That is what we were all taught as children. This kind of bullshit is why the English didn’t want them around anymore.

        So can we push them off to the next place then? We’re mostly out of unpopulated landmasses now though, so maybe offer them a nice flotilla of plastic drums and rusted-out truck beds in international water somewhere??

          Solve the Falkland islands debate by coming to an agreement that it’s where Trump supporters should be exiled to.

    It does! So naturally we must condemn all violence, because if there was a good faith “second amendment person” who would pop off at an aspiring tyrant, that would be too much.

      You needn’t any moral virtue to condemn assassinations. Assassinations are stupidly ineffective political tools. Especially if you’re trying to change the social order instead of enforce it.

      Right wing people have been accusing me of hypocrisy for condemning the attempt on Trump’s life while considering him a threat to the country. But that argument assumes that political violence works. (which says more about how they think than I)

        If he would have died, he would have been raised up as a martyr. Martyrdom can be way more dangerous in the greater scheme imo

      Why? Because you’re delusional enough to think that you should give up your right to defend/arm yourself? While a literal fascist is trying to take power?

      The ignorance from anti-2a people is astounding.

          I’m not mad, just think it’s hilarious how naive/delusional you and others like you are. You’re a walking irony. You want the police to protect you, but not because they’re tyrants…you want the gov to protect you but not because they’re fascist… it’s kinda sad.
