Random musing related to US gun control, but at least from this particular rando Finn’s perspective the American mentality regarding guns is sometimes just really fucking puzzling. I mean yes I get the historical whoop-te-doo that led to things being how they are now and what the rationale is behind US gun culture & laws and so on, but even given the context it doesn’t make sense to me. It also seems like lots of Americans agree that things are… well, not optimal right now and would want tighter controls, but by all appearances gun control is such a political minefield that it seems to be hard to get things fixed, and I’ve understood that eg. Republicans have a real tendency of being really pro control when it comes to restricting the ability of “unwanted” people to own guns. And then there’s how the culture around guns plays into all this, of course.
The problem is his supporters are too stupid to know it was one of their own that attacked him and they instantly think it’s an evil Democrat even when they’re told differently because that’s been the conservative propaganda rhetoric for 7 decades now.
Republicans are too brainwashed to realize the ones they’re supporting are the evil ones.
They’re not told differently. Alex Jones and Roger Stone have been pushing the AntIFa!!! boogeyman all over right wing media. They’ve been told that’s the narrative and it won’t matter what reality is, they will ignore it.
Well, they probably wouldn’t publicize the threats they are aware of, because that makes it more likely that take more cover and keep it more secret. I’m not saying they do know of any, but not telling us they do doesn’t mean anything.
…I know I’m a piece of shit, but I kinda hope they do and succeed… Biden isn’t doing us any favors by refusing to leave and securing our loss and the fucking DNC going behind the backs of everyone to rush a “digital vote” earlier than scheduled just to force the issue that biden wont be changing… Maybe his assassination will inspire people to actually fucking vote
Honestly when Trump wins I won’t shed a tear for the heads of the DNC that literally roll. They deserve it for what they’ve done to us. We could have had real candidates for decades now, but they always have their fingers in the pie, messing it up for the rest of us…
