Some people thought that the president accidentally made a great campaign ad for the Democrats.

    Settle down people. This isn’t what you think it is.

    They’re using this as an explanation of why Pretti was executed.

    They’re not suggesting that MAGA dickheads cant carry guns.

    While irreconcilable to any thinking person. These two statements can happily co-exist in the minds of idiots.

    This whole thing is “rules for thee but not for me”.

    They are clearly trying to ensure that they will never be subject to a legitimate election again. Minnesota is a test for how many constitutional amendments they can break. Presidential term limits are absolutely the target. When the oligarchs no longer need their cult they will repeal the entire Constitution. Welcome to the New Confederacy.

      Trump is nearing his life’s term limit. A 3rd term from him personally is not particularly concerning. That’s still a red line in the sand that we should never allow anyone to cross but I’ll be surprised if he makes it through his current term in good enough condition to even pretend to be in charge.

        Trump is just a symptom. The christofascists in his ear are the sickness. Trump is there just to bulldoze through the Constitution and establish a one party system.

        Maybe not, but what I see is more ideologically in line with the Confederates than with the Nazis. That was the secret sauce the whole time. They want the entire US government to be reset to the antebellum era and to pick up as though Lincoln never existed.

      The NRA and gun rights groups have condemned Trump’s rhetoric.

        It’s about the feeling of safety. I mean could you imagine how terrifying it must feel just walking around a school, dragging a kicking and screaming 10 year old out and think to yourself… what if one of these kids has a gun and starts shooting!

        Or walking down the street just minding your business spraying pepper spray in peoples faces, and think to yourself, what if someone in this crowd has a gun.

        I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in that kind of fear.

      A lot of good regulation only happened after the privileged started complaining/suffering. It is what it is. I would take it, but I don’t think it will happen with this “administration”.

    California’s strict gun control started with Reagan because he wanted to disarm the Black Panthers. Republicans are pro 2A, as long as it is reserved for white conservative/fascist people.

        Roger Stone staunchly denying something is pretty much confirmation that it’s real.
