    If republicans come to lynch you, wont you just call the cops and they will protect you? I’ve been told by anti gun zealots that it is the plan after they get the gun bans they lust after.

    We are on our own, the government wont be there for us in our darkest hour. you would be lucky its not the government itself that is after you honestly.

    I know its scarey to think about, but such is the facts of life of the world we live in. Work with people in your community to protect each other. Its all thats left.

      It is worth reporting on, as the Admin ramps up violent rhetoric and tries to lie about the left being terrorists.

      It might open normie’s eyes to the hypocrisy.

        I’m pretty sure the Murc’s Law Media will run cover and talk about Kirk or that CEO that got shot by Luigi.

        As if those things are in any way the same thing.

        But then this is the same media that continues to mostly downplay the day of terror and attempted coup that donnie led - which we call J6 now.

        MUCH worse.

        Contrary to Hasbara gaslighting, Hamas are mostly untrained civilians and extremely under equipped volunteer soldiers fighting against the oppression and wanton slaughter of one of the most advanced, powerful and numerous militaries in the world.

        Israel could create a peaceful one state solution within a year if they wanted to. They have that power, but they’ve been actively choosing not to exercise it for 80 years.

          They don’t want to because they see Palestinians as less than animals. Israel is basically the nazis now.

    I’d be a hypocrite to say I don’t think the same thing about them. This is what you call the polarization period and normalization of violent rhetoric in times leading to civil strife.

      Seems like there is little punishment for murder when the weapon is a automobile. Im surprised it hasn’t happened more honestly with how the legal system is setup.

    Well, Republicans already defend cops shooting people who are merely suspected of illegal activity, not a big stretch to convince them democrats are a danger to America and should be killed in the streets
