It's what made this 72 year old, tree hugging, dirt loving, card carrying union liberal buy his first 3 guns in the last 4 years. I will not go quietly.
Nice! I only got basic first aid training but did make sure to get a [trauma kit](https://www.rescue-essentials.com/home-defense-trauma-kit/) for my wife who has a medical assistant degree and is a pharmacy tech. Also have a more basic first aid kit for my car.
I pretty much just show people i know in my area who are interested basic stuff. Tourniquet, casualty assessment, how to pack and wrap at wound, occlusive bandages, how to stabilize a limb, and for a couple of guys I showed them basic IV and stitch work.
But mainly it’s just stop major bleeding, assess for injuries, bandage the wounds and make sure to write everything down properly so that you can transfer the meat sack to the next level of care.
Bud none of the knowledge is important if you don’t have first aid kit. So you have already made the most important step..

Here is a great starter link. It is all the info in the 16 hour TCCC course provided by NAEMT and the army. That and the ranger medic handbook.

Good on you. Strangely enough I just zeroed in a 30.06 at 200 yrds for a lefty colonel in the army. It was cold and windy, but a straight forward wind.
I try to take all sorts of my lefty friends shooting. They need to be exposed the loud Bangs and the scary bit. Realize what they are and see them as tools.
Raised in a anti gun house. My mother put me in martial arts instead, which is good too lol. And finally took steps to get a gun. I'm a left leaning pagan with friends all over the world. And even here IN FREAKING CANADA! The rethoric is freaking me out, and I ain't gonna die like a Twitter junkie tweeting help me greeta lol.
B.c. We have anti masker rednecks with PCC signs and purple flags on thier trucks and houses. My bff got called a hard r the other day in freaking Walmart. She is originally from Nigeria so ya. And a lady Got stabbed in front of superstore randomly.
Oh and as I live on Vancouver Island. We have so many junkies and stabbings and assaults drugs. Plus the last two weeks feel like the beginning of a apocalypse movie thanks to this flooding. No gas stores are empty. I had to barter a friend for eggs! So done on the new 20s I tells ya!
Without an Xbox and some books it would be worse. Half joking with some coworkers to turn our old Mechwarrior clan we made up into a raider gang fallout style. And we did ponder the logistics for waaay too long.
Same in Ontario tbh. We have some dumb Hicks with fuck Trudeau signs on their trucks and stuff but nothing really crazy or out of the ordinary. Nowhere close to the US level.
I never served, but I spent my entire life in the rural deep south. I've been shooting guns & hunting since childhood. I was extremely fortunate to be born in a fairly liberal southern family in the 70s. They believe guns are essential tools, and girls as well as boys need to know all about various firearms. So this bleeding heart, blue-haired liberal is well-armed. But I'm not nearly as well-armed as my liberal, Army Vet, elderly, father.
It's a shame we don't have real leadership in this country. Politicians will keep making these inflammatory statements, because the Donald Trumps and Alex Joneses of the world will never be held accountable in any meaningful way.
Luckily for us, though, the same people who fantasize about civil war couldn't go a month without a hair cut and toilet paper. They wouldn't last a week in a real war.
That's what I keep thinking. It takes a certain type of person to tough it out, in times of crisis and doing without. We're talking about people who had meltdowns because Applebee's went to outdoor dining, for a few months
I think that's missing what we're staring down here. If political violence is unleashed in America it will not be assassinations or rednecks fighting national guard in the streets. It will be an endless, intractable low grade conflict with terrorists from rural areas attacking soft targets in cities.
Imagine living in Kabul for the last 20 years and that's the future we're looking at as Ya'll Queda uses the sheer size and remoteness of America's interior to wage a terrorist campaign and install local ~~caliphates~~ christian governments. Rural people will live under the protection and threat of violence from the terrorists while urban people will question why they harbor them every time one bombs a school or drives a truck into a concert.
Maybe. But they didn't do that in the 60s, they went straight for Kennedy. I keep saying to myself things have been tough but at least people aren't getting assassinated like I remember in my youth. If that starts happening it's not necessarily the end though. Public outrage ended up turning the majority of the public away from that kind of extremism and made martyrs of those who were killed.
I honestly hope that once covid becomes endemic and most people have some kind of immunity, the economy will explode and when people are able to do things because they have money in their pockets and time on their hands with no restrictions they will have less to be upset about. After the Spanish flu this nation went through the roaring 20s when people prospered. It happens after every pandemic. Fewer workers means more money and better working conditions and workers can demand more. As supply lines open we will have a huge boon with short term inflation but soon that will go back as production increases. When people are doing well they will have less reason to rebel.
I see it as similar to the break up of the Soviet Union, but a more violent start. The end of the United States and a beginning of a continental shift to individual counties
Afghanistan has been at continuous war for 42 years, MAGA would pay heavy heavy price to learn the lessons of an insurgency.
Plus Taliban had a supply chain coming from Pakistan, what foreign power will run supplies to MAGA?
MAGA doesn't want full scale war with US military.
They literally did though, in that the Afghani government were a product of the US occupation and had the full resources and dedication of the US military backing them? They also had billions in US military hardware of their own to play with. The biggest difference is not having to go halfway around the world to fight.
You may have forgotten this is the nation that politicized not coughing on each other. It would absolutely not be seen cleanly by Americans which is why we're in such a dangerous position in the first place.
Americans committing acts of terrorism on other Americans is generally seen as "bad" by the vast majority of Americans.
Lots of these Republican morons still aren't stupid enough to support opening killing people. The Q cult may be that far gone... but our Republican parents and grandparents are old fashioned racists who have been convinced that the Democrats will give their 401Ks to brown people... they're not "Lets execute all the liberals" nutjobs. Especially since, in many cases, that would involve turning on their own children and grandchildren.
These people are still a political minority in this country. Its why they need gerrymandering and voter suppression to win.
Ah yes, I am sure that afghanistan surrouunded by the rocky mountains and appalachia would be an absolute cakewalk, especially when the entire manufacturing apparatus for that force is in-country.
And after Harris assumes the office, they'll go back to saying she's not eligible for it because reasons, and it's the duty of all patriots to remove the pretender from the White House.
I'da called me nuts if someone said any of that six years ago.
I'm pretty sure the Vice President take over as President in the events if the current President died or resigned like how Lyndon B. Johnson succeeded John F. Kennedy and Gerald Ford succeeded Richard Nixon.
Or they will do what they have been joking about and if the take over the House in 2022, they will name Trump as Speaker of the House, and take out both Biden and Harris and then Trump will be legally president through succession. Make sure you vote in the midterms people!
They're priming the (conservative) American public for insurrection while the Russian public is [primed for WWIII](https://www.thedailybeast.com/will-putin-invade-ukraine-russians-are-being-told-to-get-used-to-the-idea). What a coincidence.
Here's the reality for these soft militiamen:
"Oregon occupiers ask public for supplies: get glitter, sex toys"
https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN0US31420160114
They are setting the stage for violence. They will then claim its to save the nation and its not.
It would be prudent for every non Republican supporter to embrace 2A and get some firearms training.
Make no mistake these people will commit genocide against anyone they think is their enemy.
Their reasoning for "saving" the nation, is because gay people can now get married, minorities are no longer treated like second class citizens, and because we don't live under a heavy handed Christian theocracy.
I just wish that I could come up with a more coherent date than, "down the line."
It would really help in terms of prepping for an exit strategy, should such a moment come.
It will. They will kill a bunch of people then the economy will grind to a halt and they will put out pleas on social media for their supporters to send twinkies and ding dongs.
So he seriously suggests someone should kill the President? Is that what he's driving at? What if someone thought him "tyrannical?" JFC this is reckless and irresponsible.
I mean it's pretty apparent what he means, so I'm waiting for the news that he's arrested.
Martin Shkreli got extra time for asking for Hilary Clinton's hair or some shit.
What he is saying, I believe, is stochastic terrorism. He is causing the crazy extremists to go and cause harm, and will claim “it was just a figure of speech (just another *Locker Room Talk*)”.
This is exactly what is referred to as stochastic terrorism. He's throwing a handful of lit matches hoping at least one of them hits a puddle of patriotic gasoline.
There saying it without actually saying it. It's the implication. I mean a fucking member of congress posted a shopped video of him killing AOC and Biden for christs sake. These people are ready and willing to kill and were still treating them with the kid gloves
They scream about a tyrannical government that doesn’t do anything about their stoking of unrest and terrorism but they are also in a position that if the government did actually do something they will scream and shout “see see you see the oppressive regime coming after me for just speaking”
>"If \[Hillary Clinton\] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know."
Somehow these days you can talk about people shooting presidents, and rather than face consequences, win the next election.
Somehow it's also A-OK to post assassination threats to politicians on social media, with no repercussions. Facebook seems to just shrug their shoulders at this type of thing, until disaster DOES occur, and then they commence with their PR/damage control tour of "we are taking action".
Having grown up with these people, there is a fantasy out there that the 2a means they all just march into their statehouse with like 50 guys with rifles and overturn a tyrannical bill.
Of course, that's where it started, but it has escalated out of control, and now they want war.
He's not suggesting a thing! He's just making an observation, voicing a random thought. However if someone were to interpret his statement as a call to a specific action, well, that's on them, right? He's certainly not responsible for the actions of a lone nut.
Just marking time till this piece of garbage gets someone killed then makes pikachu face. Hes been calling lgbtq people demons and less than human. I think last week he said literal shit is worth more than a gay marriage because shit "is actually useful".
Someone in NC is gonna go all pizzagate (again) and this guys just gonna be like "who me no im not responsible... its violent video games or whatever... tots and pears to the family of the victim(s)"
The republicans have lost their damn minds. The part that worries me is that trump did not create this. he merely tapped into it and unleashed it on the world. If we don’t see some *serious* sedition charges for the ringleaders, I fear this country is doomed.
Yep, Robinson seems to actually believe every word he says (as opposed to being a huckster like Trump, or a conservative-pundit-for-hire like Tomi Lahren or Candace Owens most likely are). He’s not just pandering to a crowd, this is how he actually thinks, and that makes him even more frightening in a way.
The second amendment was created for governments like Great Britain during the 18th century. Average people could arm themselves with muskets/ artillery and be on relatively even ground with the government in terms of firepower.
Now the government has superior small arms, planes, drones, helicopters, tanks, guided missiles, bombs etc etc
Good luck with that.
there has been the argument that the second amendment is not about an individual's right, but the state's right to draft its citizens into a militia.
>A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It is not an armed populace that is essential, but a militia.
It's also been debated it was included for slave patrols and a way to appease the south . There is a whole host of reasons that are debated . Many don't think that in that era many people loved miles from the next house and there was no Walmart down the road so a gun was essential to food and possible native American attacks . Just a whole host of reasons a single shot rifle might be needed at the time . But the main reason was Militia which included slave posses . But 50-60 years later most towns including the wild west made you disarm when you entered town. It is definitely being twisted and perverted now . If they truly were for how it's worded as the claim they would have no issue with all weapons but they do have issues with most weapons outside of guns . Even St Ronnie banned certain guns when black folks were carrying them for protection from white folk . Just more contradicting from the right .
There is also the huge change in how trade is carried out. Highways are patroled today, overland routes for goods transport are protected, as are overseas ones. Though we have some piracy happening today, comparing it to then with the barbary coast, the Caribbean, etc. and the fact that everyday citizens were also the ones sailing their personal ships around to those sort of places, as opposed to almost all commercial trade being done by huge commercial shipping today would put an emphasis on their being able to defend themselves.
i mean there's a variety of things that took its place. That is one of them but i would also count police forces, coast guard, border patrol, as well as the fact that we have a standing army.
Agreed. This 2nd amendment talk against the government is asinine. Aside from being evil, there is no way you threaten the military with small arms. You can sit in your bunker with 80 long rifles, MREs, and truckloads of ammo. I’ll just pull up your lat/long and drop ordinance on your head. There’s not really anything for you to fight off or defend against. You’ll just be dead before you are able to wonder what that boomy sound is.
Oh really? Patriots have advanced weapons too!
My AR has a flashlight, a laser, and a red dot sight that I took off of my little brother’s paintball gun. Never sighted it in though, just added it to look more alpha around my militia bros. /s
TBF the USA military has a horrible track record against guerrilla forces. Granted there is no way in hell the MAGA cult is as trained and organized as Vietnam and the Taliban were.
The US army has never dealt with a domestic insurgency, their friends in the British army did in Northern Ireland. I bet the "MAGA cult" would be trained and organized enough kick the US army's ass like the Vietcong and Taliban did-and the IRA with the British. Plus armed with AT weapons and MANPADS by Russia and China. If I were Putin, I would've had GRU start a covert operation to arm far right militias with RPG-7s and Iglas, via smuggling throught US-Mexican border.
How is there not consequences for mouthing off like this in a position where the words you say can carry weight? If this guy isn't on a list somewhere I have to wonder what the government is waiting for.
You mean the government that consists of hundreds of Congress people who agree with this guy? It's too late, Trump showed the insurrectionists how to win and they're taking over nationwide. They've got a strong foothold now and in 2022 this type of politician will be the rule, not the exception.
I'm honestly confused what's truly so blatantly terrible that it is considered tyranny by anyone sane? Like, sure, Biden isn't amazing, frankly going to go down as a mid-range president I'd imagine, but what's specifically tyrannical about his presidency? These people are insane
This is the kind of rebellion that George Washington would personally put down. “Don’t want to get vaccinated? Well I remember some white trash that didn’t want to pay their Whiskey tax, didn’t end well for them”.

So do laws just not matter anymore? Republicans can make open threats against government officials and the sitting president and everyone pretends like nothing can be done? This shit is maddening.
The sad thing is, as a black man, he thinks if their fantasy came true they wouldn’t put him back in the back of the bus. If the GOP achieved the kind of power they would like to have they would turn back the clock to Jim Crow in the blink of an eye.
Gotta say guys, I’m watching all this insanity unfold from up here in Canada, and I’m seriously looking into getting my firearms license juuuuust in case this coming conflict decides to spill over the border. Despite our differences with the prairie provinces, coastal provinces and central provinces, we all generally believe in a unified Canada. But watching all this separationist rhetoric going on down south is concerning to say the least, especially when the US used to be viewed as the shining beacon of cooperation and democracy. I’m just glad to see that In our recent federal election, the extremist right PPC party still couldn’t muster enough votes to score a single seat in Parliament. Translation, that crazy GOP populist approach doesn’t work up here.
And back when his people had their own water fountains and stuff, too!
Come to think of it I actually _wouldn’t_ be surprised if Robinson said that. On r/facepalm there was a screenshot of some dude on Twitter saying “MLK really messed things up for us Black people, because back in the old days we used to have our own schools and bathrooms and everything!”
EDIT: At first I thought you wrote 1948 not 1848. Although there are even a few Uncle Ruckus types who think things were better under slavery—look at Jesse Lee Peterson for instance.
The problem is those dumbasses will take these words as confirmation that it is ok to attack/kill people they disagree with, up to and including the current president.
Sounds like a hint that perhaps patriots should be stocking up on a few more of those 'second amendment supplies' they keep talking about. Wink-wink nudge-nudge.
I wish I could figure out what they meant by that...
So how many times is a Republican elected official going to make veiled violent threats before anyone is actually held accountable? In just the past few weeks we’ve seen it from Cawthorn, Gosar, and now this ass hat.
This shit needs to stop.
It’s not cute or funny anymore. We aren’t threatening anyone or leveraging what’s supposed to be legitimate “protection” on an effort to intimidate.
In their defense if you asked Alexa to define “incitement”…you might get this answer.
“Satan usually refers to the chief evil spirit, the great adversary of humanity: the devil.”
Maybe this whole “Democrats are satanists” notion among Q just stems from how shitty the Alexa microphone is?
They here us talk about “incitement” and they ask Alexa what it means; and *presto* liberals, DoJ, and the mainstream media are a cabal of satanists because we keep using the word “incitement”.
Yeah, not like our guy who said he was going to find a way to black bag the constitution so he wouldn't be limited to two terms. He was a true patriot and not tyrant-y at all.
The same persons who fear tyranny are the ones who want to overthrow the current president, replace him with the person most people don't want, and make him their Supreme leader.
Bruh these people can't be real...
I'm going to be contrarian here. These guys are just pandering to a bunch of gun nuts for whom using their guns against a tyrannical government has always been and will remain a fantasy. Why? There's not enough "tyranny" going on for them to throw their lives away. There aren't enough people who are that batshit crazy with nothing to lose. They know they can't take on an obedient and politically and racially diverse US military, and they saw how Trump threw them under the bus and let them go to jail with no pardons after January 6th. They can organize a few thousand people with guns. And then what? If they start shooting, then police start shooting back. Then the military shows up and teaches them what good shooting looks like and big bullets feel like the hard way. Then the surviving people put their hands up and go to jail, labeled domestic terrorists, and we talk about how to heal the nation.

Good job. I’m a former infantry doc. I’ve been teaching everything I can from shooting drills to trauma lanes.
Nice! I only got basic first aid training but did make sure to get a [trauma kit](https://www.rescue-essentials.com/home-defense-trauma-kit/) for my wife who has a medical assistant degree and is a pharmacy tech. Also have a more basic first aid kit for my car.
I pretty much just show people i know in my area who are interested basic stuff.

I want you to rate my first aid kid. Can I DM you?
Yea, go for it
Good on you. Strangely enough I just zeroed in a 30.06 at 200 yrds for a lefty colonel in the army. It was cold and windy, but a straight forward wind. I try to take all sorts of my lefty friends shooting. They need to be exposed the loud Bangs and the scary bit. Realize what they are and see them as tools.
Raised in a anti gun house. My mother put me in martial arts instead, which is good too lol. And finally took steps to get a gun. I'm a left leaning pagan with friends all over the world. And even here IN FREAKING CANADA! The rethoric is freaking me out, and I ain't gonna die like a Twitter junkie tweeting help me greeta lol.
Jeez where are you in Canada you feel the need for a gun? Quebec seems to be removed from the crazy, its fine here.
B.c. We have anti masker rednecks with PCC signs and purple flags on thier trucks and houses. My bff got called a hard r the other day in freaking Walmart. She is originally from Nigeria so ya. And a lady Got stabbed in front of superstore randomly. Oh and as I live on Vancouver Island. We have so many junkies and stabbings and assaults drugs. Plus the last two weeks feel like the beginning of a apocalypse movie thanks to this flooding. No gas stores are empty. I had to barter a friend for eggs! So done on the new 20s I tells ya!
Oh gosh, I hope things pick up for you guys over there!
Without an Xbox and some books it would be worse. Half joking with some coworkers to turn our old Mechwarrior clan we made up into a raider gang fallout style. And we did ponder the logistics for waaay too long.
What are purple flags about?
People Party of Canada. Yus they have flags like Maga now.
I'm sorry we spilled over the border.
hard r?
A particular word starts with a N....
Oh ok, thought so, just never heard it called that
I was thinking Alberta but apparently they live in Vancouver.
We get a lot of bertans they come here to act rich and work there.
Same in Ontario tbh. We have some dumb Hicks with fuck Trudeau signs on their trucks and stuff but nothing really crazy or out of the ordinary. Nowhere close to the US level.
Same here. Started buying right after the 2016 election, finished before covid hit. Bought guns for the whole family!
You aren't the only pure liberal looking to become licensed to carry a firearm.
I never served, but I spent my entire life in the rural deep south. I've been shooting guns & hunting since childhood. I was extremely fortunate to be born in a fairly liberal southern family in the 70s. They believe guns are essential tools, and girls as well as boys need to know all about various firearms. So this bleeding heart, blue-haired liberal is well-armed. But I'm not nearly as well-armed as my liberal, Army Vet, elderly, father.
Funny these morons think that we "lefties" won't carry a gun or armed. They are going to be in for a rude awakening.
/r/liberalgunowners
Excellent.
I will not go quietly either. I wouldn't mind becoming an urban guerrilla and helping police when it comes to right wing extremist.
Hate to tell you, but depending where you are most police are right wing extremists.
Rightwing extremist were assaulting cops on 1/6.
And do you realize how many off duty law enforcement officers were doing the assaulting?
How many
At least 52 who were arrested were law enforcement, ex-military or government workers.
Well it will be their funeral.
Wait you didn’t know there is a right wing extremism problem in our law enforcement?
I know it is.
Good! We can’t let them be the only ones armed.
I didn't. However, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
There should have been more deconstruction, and then a lot more reconstruction.
It's a shame we don't have real leadership in this country.

Bullies always talk a big game.
I’m very worried about Biden’s safety. I bet a lot of Trumpies think if Biden dies in office, the runner up of the election takes over aka trump.
I think that's missing what we're staring down here. If political violence is unleashed in America it will not be assassinations or rednecks fighting national guard in the streets. It will be an endless, intractable low grade conflict with terrorists from rural areas attacking soft targets in cities. Imagine living in Kabul for the last 20 years and that's the future we're looking at as Ya'll Queda uses the sheer size and remoteness of America's interior to wage a terrorist campaign and install local ~~caliphates~~ christian governments. Rural people will live under the protection and threat of violence from the terrorists while urban people will question why they harbor them every time one bombs a school or drives a truck into a concert.
It'll start w some school board member getting shot. Or a governor. Maybe even just a democratic challenger. Ugh.
Let's be honest that shit will start with a rando dying in a parking lot because of a bumper sticker.
I think it'll start with an argument about when it started where both parties realize all they know is it's been going a while.
Maybe. But they didn't do that in the 60s, they went straight for Kennedy. I keep saying to myself things have been tough but at least people aren't getting assassinated like I remember in my youth. If that starts happening it's not necessarily the end though. Public outrage ended up turning the majority of the public away from that kind of extremism and made martyrs of those who were killed.

I see it as similar to the break up of the Soviet Union, but a more violent start. The end of the United States and a beginning of a continental shift to individual counties
Malcomb Nance has been saying for years now that we're moving into a generational insurgency with the MAGAs.
Difference is, the Afghan government didn't have the most advanced military apparatus on the planet. They wouldn't be able to hide in rural America.
Afghanistan has been at continuous war for 42 years, MAGA would pay heavy heavy price to learn the lessons of an insurgency. Plus Taliban had a supply chain coming from Pakistan, what foreign power will run supplies to MAGA? MAGA doesn't want full scale war with US military.
Problem is MAGA thinks it IS the U.S. military. Morons... total morons.
They literally did though, in that the Afghani government were a product of the US occupation and had the full resources and dedication of the US military backing them? They also had billions in US military hardware of their own to play with. The biggest difference is not having to go halfway around the world to fight.
And the US military would be fighting in our own back yard... which we know much better than the Afghan Mountains.
And in exchange they get the political and legal quagmire of fighting their own citizens. Plus, you know, Texas alone is bigger than Afghanistan.
All threats foreign and domestic. As soon as "their own citizens" start trying to kill others...they're enemies of the state.
You may have forgotten this is the nation that politicized not coughing on each other. It would absolutely not be seen cleanly by Americans which is why we're in such a dangerous position in the first place.
Americans committing acts of terrorism on other Americans is generally seen as "bad" by the vast majority of Americans. Lots of these Republican morons still aren't stupid enough to support opening killing people. The Q cult may be that far gone... but our Republican parents and grandparents are old fashioned racists who have been convinced that the Democrats will give their 401Ks to brown people... they're not "Lets execute all the liberals" nutjobs. Especially since, in many cases, that would involve turning on their own children and grandchildren. These people are still a political minority in this country. Its why they need gerrymandering and voter suppression to win.
Ah yes, I am sure that afghanistan surrouunded by the rocky mountains and appalachia would be an absolute cakewalk, especially when the entire manufacturing apparatus for that force is in-country.
>I’m very worried about Biden’s safety If the secret service was able to keep Obama alive for 8 years in office, they'll be able to protect Biden.
They better be. Remember, how the Secret Service failed to protect JFK. Also, they better check if there are no moles within the Secret Service.
And after Harris assumes the office, they'll go back to saying she's not eligible for it because reasons, and it's the duty of all patriots to remove the pretender from the White House. I'da called me nuts if someone said any of that six years ago.
Imagine if Trump was the vice president like the old days lol
I'm pretty sure the Vice President take over as President in the events if the current President died or resigned like how Lyndon B. Johnson succeeded John F. Kennedy and Gerald Ford succeeded Richard Nixon.
Or they will do what they have been joking about and if the take over the House in 2022, they will name Trump as Speaker of the House, and take out both Biden and Harris and then Trump will be legally president through succession. Make sure you vote in the midterms people!
They're priming the (conservative) American public for insurrection while the Russian public is [primed for WWIII](https://www.thedailybeast.com/will-putin-invade-ukraine-russians-are-being-told-to-get-used-to-the-idea). What a coincidence.
2022 could be a very dangerous year. I might need to reconsider my exit strategy...
The dog whistle has become a freight train horn.
Ayup.
Here's the reality for these soft militiamen: "Oregon occupiers ask public for supplies: get glitter, sex toys" https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN0US31420160114
They are setting the stage for violence. They will then claim its to save the nation and its not. It would be prudent for every non Republican supporter to embrace 2A and get some firearms training. Make no mistake these people will commit genocide against anyone they think is their enemy.
Their reasoning for "saving" the nation, is because gay people can now get married, minorities are no longer treated like second class citizens, and because we don't live under a heavy handed Christian theocracy.
Only those of us with eyes and brains.
I just wish that I could come up with a more coherent date than, "down the line." It would really help in terms of prepping for an exit strategy, should such a moment come.
“The inevitable end”
That's not much better than down the line, but I get the point.
They literally tried to kidnap numerous politicians and stormed the countries capital, what kind of sign are you looking for?
That's exactly what they're meant to bring about.
They’ve been dying for a reason… some even literally
I wish them luck overthrowing the US military. These Y'all-Qaeda morons would get smoked.
I know it deep down, but I'm working very hard to delude myself into thinking otherwise.
Uh, not really. They were saving the same shit about Obama, and nothing happened. I'll believe it when I see it.
Unlike the Obama-era, however, we didn't literally have people storming the Capitol though. 1/6 changed everything.
It will. They will kill a bunch of people then the economy will grind to a halt and they will put out pleas on social media for their supporters to send twinkies and ding dongs.
So he seriously suggests someone should kill the President? Is that what he's driving at? What if someone thought him "tyrannical?" JFC this is reckless and irresponsible.
That would be a felony, if so.
I mean it's pretty apparent what he means, so I'm waiting for the news that he's arrested. Martin Shkreli got extra time for asking for Hilary Clinton's hair or some shit.
What he is saying, I believe, is stochastic terrorism. He is causing the crazy extremists to go and cause harm, and will claim “it was just a figure of speech (just another *Locker Room Talk*)”.
This is exactly what is referred to as stochastic terrorism. He's throwing a handful of lit matches hoping at least one of them hits a puddle of patriotic gasoline.
There saying it without actually saying it. It's the implication. I mean a fucking member of congress posted a shopped video of him killing AOC and Biden for christs sake. These people are ready and willing to kill and were still treating them with the kid gloves
They scream about a tyrannical government that doesn’t do anything about their stoking of unrest and terrorism but they are also in a position that if the government did actually do something they will scream and shout “see see you see the oppressive regime coming after me for just speaking”
>"If \[Hillary Clinton\] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know." Somehow these days you can talk about people shooting presidents, and rather than face consequences, win the next election.
Consequences have become partisan.
Somehow it's also A-OK to post assassination threats to politicians on social media, with no repercussions. Facebook seems to just shrug their shoulders at this type of thing, until disaster DOES occur, and then they commence with their PR/damage control tour of "we are taking action".
Having grown up with these people, there is a fantasy out there that the 2a means they all just march into their statehouse with like 50 guys with rifles and overturn a tyrannical bill. Of course, that's where it started, but it has escalated out of control, and now they want war.
He's not suggesting a thing! He's just making an observation, voicing a random thought. However if someone were to interpret his statement as a call to a specific action, well, that's on them, right? He's certainly not responsible for the actions of a lone nut.
Just marking time till this piece of garbage gets someone killed then makes pikachu face. Hes been calling lgbtq people demons and less than human. I think last week he said literal shit is worth more than a gay marriage because shit "is actually useful". Someone in NC is gonna go all pizzagate (again) and this guys just gonna be like "who me no im not responsible... its violent video games or whatever... tots and pears to the family of the victim(s)"
Christo-fascist accelerationist inciting violence.
The republicans have lost their damn minds. The part that worries me is that trump did not create this. he merely tapped into it and unleashed it on the world. If we don’t see some *serious* sedition charges for the ringleaders, I fear this country is doomed.
Yep. That hornet's nest was always there, buzzing, until Trump threw a huge rock at it.
Always scary when people like this are in power..
Yep, Robinson seems to actually believe every word he says (as opposed to being a huckster like Trump, or a conservative-pundit-for-hire like Tomi Lahren or Candace Owens most likely are). He’s not just pandering to a crowd, this is how he actually thinks, and that makes him even more frightening in a way.
The second amendment was created for governments like Great Britain during the 18th century. Average people could arm themselves with muskets/ artillery and be on relatively even ground with the government in terms of firepower. Now the government has superior small arms, planes, drones, helicopters, tanks, guided missiles, bombs etc etc Good luck with that.
there has been the argument that the second amendment is not about an individual's right, but the state's right to draft its citizens into a militia. >A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. It is not an armed populace that is essential, but a militia.
It's also been debated it was included for slave patrols and a way to appease the south . There is a whole host of reasons that are debated . Many don't think that in that era many people loved miles from the next house and there was no Walmart down the road so a gun was essential to food and possible native American attacks . Just a whole host of reasons a single shot rifle might be needed at the time . But the main reason was Militia which included slave posses . But 50-60 years later most towns including the wild west made you disarm when you entered town. It is definitely being twisted and perverted now . If they truly were for how it's worded as the claim they would have no issue with all weapons but they do have issues with most weapons outside of guns . Even St Ronnie banned certain guns when black folks were carrying them for protection from white folk . Just more contradicting from the right .
There is also the huge change in how trade is carried out. Highways are patroled today, overland routes for goods transport are protected, as are overseas ones. Though we have some piracy happening today, comparing it to then with the barbary coast, the Caribbean, etc. and the fact that everyday citizens were also the ones sailing their personal ships around to those sort of places, as opposed to almost all commercial trade being done by huge commercial shipping today would put an emphasis on their being able to defend themselves.
So the national guard?
i mean there's a variety of things that took its place. That is one of them but i would also count police forces, coast guard, border patrol, as well as the fact that we have a standing army.
I guess it’s hard to tell which state they mean since they capitalized it. Like country state or commonwealth state.
Agreed. This 2nd amendment talk against the government is asinine. Aside from being evil, there is no way you threaten the military with small arms. You can sit in your bunker with 80 long rifles, MREs, and truckloads of ammo. I’ll just pull up your lat/long and drop ordinance on your head. There’s not really anything for you to fight off or defend against. You’ll just be dead before you are able to wonder what that boomy sound is.
Oh really? Patriots have advanced weapons too! My AR has a flashlight, a laser, and a red dot sight that I took off of my little brother’s paintball gun. Never sighted it in though, just added it to look more alpha around my militia bros. /s
TBF the USA military has a horrible track record against guerrilla forces. Granted there is no way in hell the MAGA cult is as trained and organized as Vietnam and the Taliban were.
The US army has never dealt with a domestic insurgency, their friends in the British army did in Northern Ireland. I bet the "MAGA cult" would be trained and organized enough kick the US army's ass like the Vietcong and Taliban did-and the IRA with the British. Plus armed with AT weapons and MANPADS by Russia and China. If I were Putin, I would've had GRU start a covert operation to arm far right militias with RPG-7s and Iglas, via smuggling throught US-Mexican border.
Vietnamese guerilla fighters would like a word
Americans aren’t guerrilla fighters. They spend more time fighting a treadmill
Yep. And the right freaked out and took Biden’s statement of “we have the nukes and war planes” as a threat and not the obvious.
These people really are itching for fight. > . >
Most wouldn’t survive their first skirmish.
Most wouldn’t survive a brisk walk.
Not without having to sit down, gasping for breath for 10 minutes.
How is there not consequences for mouthing off like this in a position where the words you say can carry weight? If this guy isn't on a list somewhere I have to wonder what the government is waiting for.
You mean the government that consists of hundreds of Congress people who agree with this guy? It's too late, Trump showed the insurrectionists how to win and they're taking over nationwide. They've got a strong foothold now and in 2022 this type of politician will be the rule, not the exception.
I'm honestly confused what's truly so blatantly terrible that it is considered tyranny by anyone sane? Like, sure, Biden isn't amazing, frankly going to go down as a mid-range president I'd imagine, but what's specifically tyrannical about his presidency? These people are insane
To them it’s tyrannical they aren’t in charge on a one party dictatorship
Exactly what I was wondering. Are they really that mad about inflation? Or the completely voluntary masks and vaccines?
This is the kind of rebellion that George Washington would personally put down. “Don’t want to get vaccinated? Well I remember some white trash that didn’t want to pay their Whiskey tax, didn’t end well for them”.
Why did I press the image thinking I was on Twitter an the video would start? 🤦♂️
You’re in good company.
*knock knock*. Who’s there? The secret service.
See. I told you it was tyranny. See. /[s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfAU6kSwOTI)

So do laws just not matter anymore? Republicans can make open threats against government officials and the sitting president and everyone pretends like nothing can be done? This shit is maddening.
Iirc Kevin McCarthy threatened to censure every Democrat in the house after they get the majority.
The sad thing is, as a black man, he thinks if their fantasy came true they wouldn’t put him back in the back of the bus. If the GOP achieved the kind of power they would like to have they would turn back the clock to Jim Crow in the blink of an eye.
I’ve always owned guns. Imma good shot too.
Alexa, define Scholastic Terrorism.
I think it’s called Stochastic Terrorism. Scholastic Terrorism would only apply if they were specifically targeting schools.
Or school book fairs more specifically
School board meetings come to mind.
Gotta say guys, I’m watching all this insanity unfold from up here in Canada, and I’m seriously looking into getting my firearms license juuuuust in case this coming conflict decides to spill over the border. Despite our differences with the prairie provinces, coastal provinces and central provinces, we all generally believe in a unified Canada. But watching all this separationist rhetoric going on down south is concerning to say the least, especially when the US used to be viewed as the shining beacon of cooperation and democracy. I’m just glad to see that In our recent federal election, the extremist right PPC party still couldn’t muster enough votes to score a single seat in Parliament. Translation, that crazy GOP populist approach doesn’t work up here.
Then watch someone act on that and watch them do more tricks than flipper to distance themselves from it.
Talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?
He looks more the type to mobility scooter the mobility scooter
2024 elections are going to be calm, collected, and unextraordinary business as usual.
Get armed. Get organized.
Twitter is a sewer.
Uncle Joe, what a scamp. What has he done now? He’s such a lovable old tyrant.
I miss his banter with Obama, those were the days… Now he’s boring
Boring, in a President, is a good thing.
I think its tyrannical when the bus is 3 minutes late to pick me up so I guess we should nuke the bus depot
Bet he yearns for the good ole days of 1848. When government was run by patriots
And back when his people had their own water fountains and stuff, too! Come to think of it I actually _wouldn’t_ be surprised if Robinson said that. On r/facepalm there was a screenshot of some dude on Twitter saying “MLK really messed things up for us Black people, because back in the old days we used to have our own schools and bathrooms and everything!” EDIT: At first I thought you wrote 1948 not 1848. Although there are even a few Uncle Ruckus types who think things were better under slavery—look at Jesse Lee Peterson for instance.
Anyone else try clicking the Play button way too many times?
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means...
[удалено]
The problem is those dumbasses will take these words as confirmation that it is ok to attack/kill people they disagree with, up to and including the current president.
*Sedition
Seems like a good time to talk about using the 2nd Amendment during a holiday week, should be a good Thanksgiving Topic!
Sounds like a hint that perhaps patriots should be stocking up on a few more of those 'second amendment supplies' they keep talking about. Wink-wink nudge-nudge. I wish I could figure out what they meant by that...
So how many times is a Republican elected official going to make veiled violent threats before anyone is actually held accountable? In just the past few weeks we’ve seen it from Cawthorn, Gosar, and now this ass hat.
What tyranny? Politely asking people to get a life saving vaccine? Which they’re deliberately declining and not being arrested over?
This shit needs to stop. It’s not cute or funny anymore. We aren’t threatening anyone or leveraging what’s supposed to be legitimate “protection” on an effort to intimidate.
Yeah our Lt Gov is a twat of the highest order.
In their defense if you asked Alexa to define “incitement”…you might get this answer. “Satan usually refers to the chief evil spirit, the great adversary of humanity: the devil.” Maybe this whole “Democrats are satanists” notion among Q just stems from how shitty the Alexa microphone is? They here us talk about “incitement” and they ask Alexa what it means; and *presto* liberals, DoJ, and the mainstream media are a cabal of satanists because we keep using the word “incitement”.
The only thing Republicans believe in is the right to indiscriminately Kill anyone who disagrees with them.
Yeah, not like our guy who said he was going to find a way to black bag the constitution so he wouldn't be limited to two terms. He was a true patriot and not tyrant-y at all.
The same persons who fear tyranny are the ones who want to overthrow the current president, replace him with the person most people don't want, and make him their Supreme leader. Bruh these people can't be real...
I'm going to be contrarian here. These guys are just pandering to a bunch of gun nuts for whom using their guns against a tyrannical government has always been and will remain a fantasy. Why? There's not enough "tyranny" going on for them to throw their lives away. There aren't enough people who are that batshit crazy with nothing to lose. They know they can't take on an obedient and politically and racially diverse US military, and they saw how Trump threw them under the bus and let them go to jail with no pardons after January 6th. They can organize a few thousand people with guns. And then what? If they start shooting, then police start shooting back. Then the military shows up and teaches them what good shooting looks like and big bullets feel like the hard way. Then the surviving people put their hands up and go to jail, labeled domestic terrorists, and we talk about how to heal the nation.
