Exactly this. The “left” has consistently shifted right to pander to voters who don’t like them. They’ve positioned themselves to be lame ducks across the board. Their “moderate” stance is basically taking it up the ass when someone tells them to assume the position. Kamala was/is and will always be weak. Biden was a do-nothing geriatric patient who was too afraid to even defend an ally, Ukraine.
The “left” have shifted right so hard Nixon would run as a fucking democrat.
People are quick to forget the second amendment exists for situations like this.
“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”
“being necessary to the security of a free State” being the key point here. I find it ironic that every time anyone tries to pass any gun legislation the right cry foul saying they need to defend themselves from a tyrannical government. Then literally elect an outspoken tyrant. Neo-liberals (diet conservatives basically) are so busy jerking themselves off about how great they are, forgot why the second amendment exists. Despite all the cries for help, scared of fascism, they did nothing to actually prepare for the perceived threat. If it came down to it, toe to toe, left vs right, they’d get slaughtered. They’re afraid of guns.
Now am I saying we need a violent coup d’etat? Nah. But some people are wholly convinced Trump is going to go full on fascist. Do things like invoke the insurrection act, declare martial law and suspend habeas corpus. To those people, y’all need to rethink your stance on arms. If it’s coming and you want to stop that freight train? That’s war. And you’re not ready.
Tried both. I get marginally more content via new. A lot of it is what’s in hot but in a different order. I’m on boost for lemme if that matters.
I’m subbed to a ton of stuff and my feed dries quickly. Even if I do browse all. I’m also new to the platform, so I’m probably doing something wrong?
Definitely part of it for sure. Part of a larger machine to weaken and stupefy the population.
