    The only way for them to lose power is for them to lose their life. But not enough of you Lefties own guns compared to MAGA, and you continue to vote in favor of restricting ownership in most blue/left-leaning states. So it’s not going to be well for anyone for the next fifty years.

      not enough of you Lefties own guns

      I think you’d be surprised how many do. But guns aren’t magic. I haven’t seen anyone clearly articulate what we do with our guns that we have.

      Not the least bit because anyone bold enough to try is kicked off the site.

      Curiously enough, the 2nd amendment is less useful than the 1st

        Isn’t the whole point of 2A to empower the whole people to put down a tyrannical government?

          No. It is to empower local militias to take land from unincorporated native peoples.

          Absent the legal authority to communicate your grieveness, congregate a movement in opposition, and define your ideological tenants free from persecution, how do you build up a militia with which to resist a tyrannical state?

          Unless you’re psychic, there’s no way to mobilize a mass movement. The best you can do as a lone gunman is stocastic violence.

      They can also lose power by being endlessly ridiculed to the point that people vomit on them the moment they are seen in public.

        I know you’re joking, but all that will do is get you arrested and put in prison, nor fix the underlying issue that fascism keeps coming back due to pacifist dipshits are afraid to deter them with armed protests and violent rhetoric.
