Yeah totally. We're all going to die.

I said our country, as in its core principles of human rights and freedom, not our lives. The last few decades of painting liberals as an enemy, largely with straw man arguments in weird almost ritualistic hate discussions judging from my relatives, has a very real risk of having indoctrinated far right people convinced "the Marxists" (as in anyone that doesn't tow the far right line) are an enemy and somehow the aggressors. With that extreme hatred and obsession for guns, someone who actually tells people to pull the trigger against dissenters is a very real threat. All they have to do is continue the lie that elections are rigged, something that used to be a lie only in the most extremist wings of the Republican party, but our liar in chief has brought mainstream (thankfully some conservative commentators have the backbone to call out that lie, but more and more seem to be driven away if they question Trump).
