    I thought we were unhappy women who only had cats as friends.

    Now we are wolves.

    I cannot keep up with this so can we compromise and be cheetahs or something?

      The problem is that a Republicans own significantly more guns, and most times better guns than what’s available in Democrat run states.

        They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.

            My first thought was “my gawd there’s no way my partner and I would fit on that tiny bed”

            My second was “oh jeebus, that’s a look”

            third was “why are all the guns on the floor”

          Is there any particular reason every single gun is aimed vaguely in the direction of those two kids? It somehow makes it look extra tone deaf.

          That’s because the “arming myself to take back my country from leftists” is just them blowing hot air.

          They buy lots of guns because someone told them Obama or Biden wants to take away their right to buy guns, so they spend their whole savings on them thinking that they’re beating the system…

          In many cases, it’s a matter of being so fucking scared of the world (common amongst Fox News and other RW media consumers) that the only way they can be comfortable is within arms reach of a gun.

          The vast majority of Conservatives don’t have the guts to actually take action with their guns, because most of them bought them out of fear of bodily injury, not to enter battle and put their own skin in the game.

          The few extremists that actually want to start a civil war are mostly morons with no training who won’t accomplish anything but a handful of disorganized mass shootings that will actually freak out everyone else, including other gun owners.

        I hear that the average conservative militia has trained extensively in the military art of marching in formation marching walking down the street. Some of them even bought a box of green tip right off the store shelf.

        every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it’s been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.

          Hate to break it to you, but you literally just described the entire state of West Virginia, Idaho, both Dakotas, Missouri, Louisiana, most of Florida, Oklahoma, and parts of fucking Oregon.

      This is his plan, if not that claim trump is unfit to hold office and take his spot. He doesn’t interview like he’s in it for VP he interviews like he is going to be president and it’s weird.

    This will not hurt him, if anything it will ingratiate him with the magoos. They eat this shit up.

    Imagine the fucking hypocrisy… Hillary says essentially “half the magas are a basket of deplorables” they cry foul and self select into that group, but then they go on about killing Demonrats and that’s totes ok.

    There was an asshat in Texas (I think) a few years back that said “the only good Democrat is a dead one” and the crowd went nutty cheering. Then he realized what he said and backtracked “I mean… Politically dead. You know the media will just twist my words.” Too late fucker, the audience went nutty over the thought of killing Democrats.

    “The old conservative movement argued if you just got government out of the way, natural forces would resolve problems—we are no longer in this situation and must take a different approach,” Vance continues. “As Kevin Roberts writes, ‘It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.'”

    Roberts himself has recently called for a “Second American Revolution” — a modern-day repeat of the eight-year conflict that killed between 25,000 and 70,000 Americans. Roberts himself said that the second revolution will be “bloodless” but only “if the Left allows it to be.”

          But what are they wanting to “conserve”? Has the US ever even been what they want it to become in project 2025? Maybe in reconstruction South…

            While debatable, I believe they want to conserve a systemic hierarchy of social privilege or sense of superiority. Regardless, human cultures (at least since the renaissance) appear to have an observable gradient of ideologies that span from progressive/egalitarian to regressive/discriminatory. In western cultures, we usually refer to the latter as conservative, despite the debatability of what, exactly, they are “trying to preserve”. As polarized as we are in modern U.S. politics, “conservative” is practically a team name.
