      Soooo… The current federal administration is a terrorist organisation.

      I’m starting to think the.American.2A only exists for school shootings and the like, because it’s clear no one actually exercises it as intended beyond that and personal hobbies.

        The problem is, most of the people with a big hard on for guns and the 2nd amendment are part of the terrorist organization

        It’s almost like one side of the political aisle spent decades demonizing gun ownership, and now the fascists own all the guns.

        The GOP is evil, but the Dems are really bad at politics. Guns and abortion are by far the biggest issues for single-issue voters, and they’re almost overwhelmingly single-sided. How many pro-choice voters who are otherwise liberal would have voted for Trump if he had been pro-choice and Harris had been pro-life?

        Pretty close to zero, because nobody has pro-choice as the single item they will base 100% of their vote on, while millions of pro-life voters will absolutely change party affiliation over it. It’s why, in the general election, candidates running a campaign centered on abortion rights get skewered. It doesn’t matter that the majority of voters are pro choice if the only people who actually vote based on abortion are the pro-life voters.

        It’s the same thing to a slightly lesser extent with guns. By centering campaigns on anti-gun issues that don’teven make sense (cosmetic gun features, supressors, ordering guns online that still have to be transferred with a background check at a licensed dealer, gun show loopholes that don’t actually exist, etc), the Dems have allowed the GOP to cater to gun owners. And now that politics is turning increasingly violent, they’ve also effectively disarmed their supporters.

        Guns are evil until they’re necessary. And we’re quickly approaching the “necessary” phase without them.

      I wonder if Lemmy let’s me post one of my note blasts…

      Conservatives have are a sexual predator / pedophile problem

      • As of 2025-09-04, there are 1425 documented conservative predators, abusers, and enablers

      • No seriously, 67.4% of politicians involved in a sex crime against a child are Republicans (Archive)

      • Pedocon theory: “this is the inevitable result of the conservative project” (Archive)

      • “Conservatives pose as the nation’s protectors of children” but are weak on scandals concerning its own rank-and-file (archive)

      • “Nothing is more stunning than having ‘serial child molester’ and ‘speaker of the House’ in the same sentence.” (Archive)

      • Republicans “protect” Child Marriage

        • Less for allowing young couples to elope it’s more about protecting statutory rapists by allowing them to marry their victims (archive)

        • It’s about locking in (mostly) girls into coercive marriages when they are a “ripe, fertile age” (archive)

        • Young women 16-19 experience domestic violence at a rate three times the national average (archive)

      • Utah State Senator changes law to protect relative from being punished for raping a 13 year old (archive)
