      Paradox of tolerance.

      If we all sit around while people organize killing us, eventually they’ll try to kill us.

      We can’t treat Republicans as just having a different opinion. This isn’t “bedroom walls green or blue”. This is “should gay people live?”

      There’s a saying about the boxes of liberty. Unfortunately, the right seems poised to open the ammo box first.

      We all need to believe them when they tell us what kind of America they want to live in and what they are willing to do to get there. Fascist militias are popping up all over the place, all the while blue states are restricting access to firearms while red states are busy expanding their own. I’m hopeful it will never come down to it, but at the end of the day Jon Stewart’s not going to come to your rescue when they have you on your knees in front of a trench. There may come a time where you’ll wish you had access to non-nerfed rifles and normal capacity magazines.

      Additionally, you might wonder why hyper capitalists are strong proponents of gun control but always manage to carve out exceptions for themselves 🤔.
