But yeah people who Trump won because of stupid or crazy people are never gonna understand it. Just like people who think Hillary voters want to force you to have anal sex with a mexican immigrant and a adopt a 7-gendered black kid who sits for the pledge of allegiance.

The truth is the vast majority of American voters love an authoritarian who will say stuff that makes them feel good and hyped. It's basic sports entertainment with a hefty byproduct of statism.

tbf i think loving authoritarianism qualifies a person as stupid or crazy

Nevermind that violent crime rates for black males are ridiculously high but for black females they aren't. It's almost as if this "racist stereotyping" is based on an actual observable thing and not just irrational xenophobia.

And your argument is that the state is completely unbiased with regard to law enforcement?

Whats something from the left that you want fact-checked that Snopes ignores?

"Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society."

"Capitalism causes poverty."

"There are 57 genders."

"All races are equal in every way."

"Nobody needs semiautomatic guns."

Yeah you're definitely not the audience for Snopes LMFAO

A great way to change that will be for Snopes to spend more and more of its time doing nothing but checking right-wing memes (and ignoring all the lies that come from the left every day)

So, if one dumb person watches "Super Troopers" and thinks its a real documentary of policing in America, does that make it not a fictional comedy anymore?

THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED! As much as Democrats would like to see this happen, and despite the words yesterday of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, NO WAY. We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court!

given Trump's Always Sunny-esque comedic timing I fully expect to see "Trump Repeals Second Amendment" in the headlines tomorrow

No one is safe anywhere. Of course, the least safe places to be are places run by the government where everyone is disarmed. Seems like few school shootings happen at private or charter schools. Or Sunday schools.
Or home-schools for that matter!

I mean, there are constant mass shootings in all of those places in the US. If the point here is that public schools aren't uniquely unsafe, then... yes.

SmartMuffin posted...

It's a fair point. I'm presuming a scenario where they order mass civilian gun confiscation without any significant amendments to the constitution. The income tax was a lawfully passed amendment. Land isn't taken without compensation (even if the "fair" aspect is often a joke).

Taxation is also withheld in ways that make it seem far less painful and that limit confrontation. If the tax man had to show up at your door and demand you hand over X amount of money, you'd probably see a lot more dead (or at least tarred and feathered) tax collectors, you know, like you did back when they actually did that.

If gun confiscation ever happens in the US, expect them to use exactly these same tricks to make it look legal/non-confrontational.

If gun confiscation starts happening in America, the time for political virtue signaling is over. Armed revolution would be the proper response. The concern becomes less "how does this make me look politically" and more "how many agents of the state can I take with me when they come to kill me"

If people already tolerate having their land and money confiscated, what makes you think they won't tolerate gun confiscation as well?

gun owners will rise up and kill everyone if the 2nd amendment is challenged?

It's saying that gun-owners are far more radical in their beliefs than the NRA is.

And while they won't pro-actively kill people for disagreement, many will, in fact, kill people who try to forcibly disarm them.

Oh, the size of the flood made me think it was something I was supposed to be worried about. But if these guys wanna fight cops for some reason, whatever.
