Trumpās comments undermined previous statements by his top aides and were a blunt sign of his administrationās intention to double down and defy the courts.
Big talk for someone who also isnāt about to throw their life away to take potshots at the local police station.
Government agitators: āGod why are leftists such little babies! Oh youāre not a little baby? You donāt need a nappy? Well prove it! Commit a violent crime at a peaceful protest RIGHT NOW! Yeah, right into that camera. Great. Thatās perfect. Thank you.ā
Iām not american and my culture has no history of stockpiling weapons to fantasize about using them when the government takes our rights, so donāt try to paint me as a hypocrite for calling this out as an outside observer.
Also, please show me where I even implied people should shoot at local cops or turn protests violent? If there was any advocation of violence in my comment (for legal purposes this is an if) it had one clear target, and wasnāt specifically addressed to leftists. I donāt blame you for wanting reasons to write off what I said, cuz I canāt imagine being american right now - not a figure of speech, I literally cannot and I feel for you dudes - but please donāt resort to strawman and false equivalency fallacies to do it.
If you think gun culture was ever about āfighting to uphold your rightsā youāre as dumb as the average American that buys a gun and says that same thing.
Itās about profiting off of peoples fear. Fear that grows with every new school shooting or ādangerous immigrantā story. Itās always been about fear of the āotherā. All the way from freed slaves to Venezuelan immigrants.
Are you really shocked the average American gun owner isnāt storming the capital to āsave democracyā from the guy that most of them voted for?
The few of us gun owners in the US that are actually leftist are organizing locally to resist ICE in our neighborhoods. With the full knowledge right now that use of a weapon in self defense is just going to get you killed. (Which may be your best option).
Weāre focusing on having quick communication to resist ICE. Early warning of their presence so their target can avoid that altercation altogether.
So, Iām sorry. But youāre just disconnected if you think the average American ever gave a shit about ārightsā. They give a shit about white supremacy and there is absolutely no threat to that right now that would make them take up arms.
