Republicans are going to get wiped out in the midterms if this continues. You can feel some of them starting to squirm. Everyone - PLEASE write to your rep and senators. State and Federal. Let them know not only where your vote is going, let them know where your money is going. If you...

I would also disagree with that sentiment. I'd anecdotally measure left 2A approval at 25-30% with the right being 90%+. But all the same, this is what it's there for. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. A government should be afraid of its people."

I said in the other thread and I'll say it in this one: no one will ever stay President with that statement. If someone having a gun is the only qualification for being shot then we don't have a second amendment.

That is an absolutely wild tweet. He's gotta go. Jesus Christ - imagine if Obama had said that. We'd already be at war. This is literally why the second amendment exists.

Well, @Rob B. , I noticed you got really quiet. To be clear, you don’t owe anyone a 24/7 stream of consciousness, but would love to hear your take of the situation. I’d also like to point out that this is the federal government that has killed another citizen. Not the local police, but...

"But Mr. Trump, what about other nations sovereignty?" gives middle finger, walks away. MAGA supporters: "What an amazing Christian" 🤩

Hey, that's not true. He only wants to use the military against Americans who disagree with him.

I think you'd get a lot of agreement (from me at least), that a change in immigration policy was 100% needed and what happened during Biden's presidency was unacceptable. I think most reasonable people would agree. But I think the only way out of this is if the republican's start telling...

Serious question, and I wasn't aware of anyone other than Rob to ask these to: How do you feel about the direction of the country in general? Do you think ICE is a net positive for our country? Would love any honest answers. Thanks,

Out of all the bull that has been going on - this is the lynchpin. If we allow the executive branch to take over the Fed, we are DONE. Artificially setting rates based on the whims of whoever is in charge. Hope you all are ready for breadlines!

I can't take credit for this, but I did mention that writing to our Senators is what makes a difference. I live in Indiana. I wrote to Todd Young (R). Todd Young is only 1 of 4 Republicans to vote to curtail Trump's actions in Venezuela. Write your Senators. Write your representatives...

edited for me to get more information. It's almost like it was a really f*cking stupid idea to let para-military forces loose in large population centers in the country. Unless, of course, this was what some people wanted all along.

My brother - there are masked agents in the streets. Not police. Not national guard. Masked federal officers. They are in courtrooms, they are in schools. This entire division of the US government didn't exist two years ago in its current form. You know that - you were here. What would...

No, and that's the other problem that I would also like counter-opinions on. Law enforcement is unmasked in this country until very recently. It creates accountability and reduces tensions on a person to person level. ICE is nameless and faceless. While that is 'super cool' when fighting...

Greenland - Just the official quote from the White House: "The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief's disposal,". I'm not sure how else to...
