The nightmare the gun lobby has warned against for decades — a federal government that uses violence to strip the constitutional freedoms of citizens who disagree with them — is happening in Minneapolis, btw
Amazing how quickly the Second Amendment crowd can pivot from "we need guns to fight government tyranny" to "if you have a gun, you deserve to be shot by government tyrants"
Crazy how in like 6 years the argument goes from “a few bad apples” to “they were completely justified and they are actually good apples and we like them like this”
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
There is nothing - nothing - Joe Biden ever said that was as deluded or detached from reality as this demonstrably false and nonsensical statement from Trump. We can all see he’s lying and/or deranged.
There is no way I’m going to see that video of Charlie Kirk being shot and feel anything other than terrible. I’m aware of all of it, the rhetoric, the hatefulness, all of it from him, but I can’t be robbed of my compassion, that was awful, and we HAVE to try to be better.
We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing.
Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.
