It doesn't really seem that way. I only ever hear about how evil Republicans are and how starving and precious the Democrats are. I think you're all fucking stupid for thinking stances on subjects need to be clumped together in categories. I want universal healthcare, basic income, and the right to carry a gun for the next time police come to wreck my life over a false accusation made by a violent asshole!

Do things typically go well for people who use firearms against police? Is this some sort of crazy shit that I’m too Canadian to understand?

Very definitely not if you're black. Two famous cases of police murder- Breonna Taylor and Philando Castile involved legal gun ownership and use. The former involved her boyfriend shooting at police because he thought they were home invaders. They didn't care.

You ever read one of those heartwarming stories about a woman who paid somebody's medical debt?

I've actually got no idea where you're going with this, so I'll bite. Yes, I've heard stories like that.
