    I’m over pointing fingers and playing holy than thou.

    The people who plan to build a Hungarian-style autocratic government are in power now, and they’re hoping the left is exhausted and tired of fighting this shit for a decade.

    This shit is going to be dangerous, and we’re going to have to motivate people to push back hard than even. Pointing fingers just divides us and makes us even weaker.

      That’s a bummer because progressives couldn’t be bothered to stop an erasure of minorities and lgbt alongside a subjugation of women.

      Quite simply, either you align with them or you can get fucked.

      At least that’s how it’s currently playing out.

          “But mom! I got a gun for self defense, how was i supposed to know that you’d be declared property even though they were screaming it at the top of their lungs?”

            FUCK YOU, MODS

              Arming for self defense wont matter when the women in your life aren’t legally allowed to have a bank account.

              It will be death by a thousand cuts, but at least you’ll have your guns?

                  It means your guns won’t do shit when the law decides your mom is declared property.

                  The guns won’t change anything because the people making those laws not only have guns but also have the police, the legislative, the judiciary, the military and the executive branch.

                  Good luck fighting an apc full of military-decked police officers with your ar 15.

                    Classic lib response, and still ignorant as fuck. On top of that it’s a classic case of pre-emptive compliance. See you in the boxcar.
