Why was this life worth more than a school shooting victim or a starving Palestinian child?

I wish the left was 1% as active and mobilized as the right claims it is.

Yeah, but the reality is that it's very hard to spot a 'leftist', whereas MAGAts tend to make it the primary part of their personality, and display it in their trucks, yards, clothing, etc.

MAGAT's have perceived threats, but they wouldn't know what the enemy looked like if it were right in front of them. They make themselves vulnerable to guerrilla attacks. I mean it's literally like a bunch of dipshit British soldiers standing around in red jackets with muskets.

This is wishful thinking. Polling shows MAGAists are many times more numerous than leftists.

What the fuck are you even talking about? The vast majority of people are to the left of MAGAts. But they're just normal people. MAGAts go out of their way to make sure everyone knows exactly who they are, and what they think

Polls? lol that doesn’t prove anything due to volunteer bias. Not to mention fear of outing yourself to present and future evils.

I thought you meant actual leftists. I see now you had it in quotes so if you mean anyone to the left of MAGA then yes there are many such people. Probably about 60% or more of the country.

I wish the left were as armed as the right, because armed citizens are harder to oppress.

When leftists stop the purity tests, they will mobilize.

So literally never.
