It's just the Lemmy keyboard warriors. Actual go-outdoors Americans are busy either: 1. fighting fascism without firearms, or 2. going about their lives and pretending fascism won't come for them or people they care about.

Goomba fallacy.

"Skip to" isn't quite fair, because the million things that can be done need to be done by tens of millions of people, and not everybody has those opportunities. So for some, "Guess I'll get a gun while I still can," is just the next thing they can do after voting and protesting and calling and writing and donating and speaking, because we've been taught for a long time that that's how these things go and the best defense is being armed.

And even beyond that, saying "You Americans" as though we're all a like-minded group is as silly as assuming that everyone is from the US.

but boom boom

I'm not American, but I feel like I would rather go out in a blaze of glory, as it were, than be sent off to the ~~queer prison~~ biblical re-education camps that don't seem to be very far away.
