Democrats drove away all the fighters by attacking anyone who was the slightest bit controversial or politically incorrect for the last 40 years. Basically the party was taken over by fools and cowards. This is our opposition party, and this is why we're screwed. Ban Fox News.

I've seen lemmings both advocate for gun restrictions, then turn around and say we should use violence... I'm like: pick a side, you can't hold both opinions

Nah, when someone says they're against gun rights I prefer to at least give them the benefit of the doubt regarding ideological consistency and assume they're against all protests that involve violence and are happy when protestors can't defend themselves or deter against individual acts of state violence. I don't like to just assume that a stranger is a hypocrite or critically underdeveloped merely because I disagree with them. Believe a person when they tell you who they are.

Someone finally gets it. But get this. All that gun control is literally helping the other side Dems are helping the auth regime and voters are too dumb to have that epiphany.

All WHAT "gun control"? My sibling in Christ, do you perceive there to be insufficient access to guns in america?! Really?

It puts you in an ideological lock to say the least and when the purity tests start about which in group is "correct", the debacle begins

as we all know, meaningless purity tests are the best way keep an already fragmented ideological movement cohesive and not totally in a permanent state of full fragmentation
