    I just hope violence is kept at a minimum. Most of the people where I live are Trumpies (well the older crowd especially) and they truly are just totally oblivious. They certainly aren’t evil. It’s so unfortunate because these are people I’d say are good people. They’ve never killed or directly harmed a soul to my knowledge. I just hope if there’s violence that it’s targeted top heavy because we all know who the problem(s) are and they could probably be counted by any tally counter that goes to 1k. AKA don’t focus on the manipulated, focus on the manipulator(s).

    Please note this is in no way condoning any violence outside of Minecraft

      This is exactly how it started in Germany in the 1930ths:

      Old people dreaming of the Empire - which by the way did very little for them - and not really into politics. They just wanted a change.

      And then voted for their own hangman.

      Best argument a relative told me why he voted for Hitler: “I thought he was a funny guy with excellent dark humor. I didn’t knew he wasn’t joking.”

    My great grandfather used to drop 500lb bombs on them. It was super effective.

      Your great grandfather sounds incredibly based!

      Mine had the dubious honors of smuggling booze as an early teen, and allegedly helped popularize deposit fees because he would rent all the major party halls in his city, and then cancel all but one, ensuring he ran the only big party in town on a given weekend.

      My grandfather helped your grandfather by going up in untested fighter planes with the pilots and checking to make sure none of the bolts were loose.

      He was also an air raid warden in London, meaning he was out on the streets getting people to safety while the bombs were dropping.

      I wish I had an ounce of that man’s courage… although, being both Jewish and German, he knew exactly what had to be stopped.

    Always hilarious when the anti-2a groups post anything revolving around using firearms.

    You’re so close to understanding the 2nd amendment…we welcome you.

      Socialist rifle association exists. Only neolibs believe they don’t need weapons to protect against possible tyranny.
