"Fighting government tyranny" has always meant "exacting revenge for electing a black president" and historically "exacting revenge for having to treat black people as equals in polite company."

You'd be hard pressed to find the kind of modern rhetoric around guns you see today before the Civil Rights Act. The NRA endorsed the National Firearms Act of 1934.

Idk about that. I remember a zealous enthusiasm for guns and "freedom" in the South circa 1860.

All those southerners willing to slaughter their neighbors during the Bleeding Kansas incident weren't using billy clubs

It's always been about keeping guns out of the hands of the undesirables. That's the only consistent logic we see over the years.

American conservatives endorse stricter gun control every time there are concerns about minorities and/or the left arming themselves.

Meanwhile, they want no regulations to inconvenience the mythical good guy with a gun. As long as that "good guy" is a conservative white Christian.

How many mass shootings has that guy stopped?

I remember reading about one guy armed during a shooting who didn't take out his gun because he feared the cops would mistake him for the shooter

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It turns out the very people who claim to be afraid of a fascist government are the ones responsible for that very same fascist government. The people who try to act the toughest have the weakest of minds.

Yappy dog syndrome

Maybe they too stupid to know

[–] Zink@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In my anecdotal experience, the more Trumpy conservative somebody is, the more they are already miserable and complaining about everything all the time. If things get objectively worse for them then they might not act any differently day-to-day. The only question is how far things have to go before they will blame the correct people, if that is even possible for many.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Eh. The biggest trump fans I know are well paid blue collar workers who definitely have something to lose if shit gets worse for them. They're just legitimately stupid people who refuse to see any evidence that Trump isn't their Messiah.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yea, they dont realize that they will be the very first ones taken out. Likely imprisoned for the very orders that they followed.

This new US regime will attack its own military and try and keep the military leadership confused and/or clueless ... exactly like Russia does.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It would be funnier if it weren't happening.

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably not tho.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sigh, enthusiastic fellatio seems to always be given to the undeserving.

You a real one dawg

You don't want any type of head from Bubby Bob Billy with 3 teeth and a glass eye.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What if that's my fetish? Don't yuck my yum.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My bad, I didn't mean to kinkshame. I will be more careful with my words from here on out.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's their team of tyrannical pedo dictatorship. They have been prepping for a uprising against the other side.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yep. And all they had to do to placate and pacify most Americans was to tell them that they were going to do the exact opposite of what they were actually busy planning.

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yuuuup. Libertarians have openly called for fascism for years and have NOT received enough s*** for it.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

used to be a Ron Paul supporter. some of his ideas were genuinely forward thinking. overall though, he was just a pawn to bring libertarians to the conservative table.

I burned his book because I didn't want anyone else to get their hands on it and think he was anything but a charlatan.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What ideas could he possibly have that was forward thinking?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

personally I'm a fan of personal freedoms. I don't believe that healthcare should be mandated by the federal government(however I do believe that universal healthcare should be available).

I don't think firearms should require registration, but I do believe that firearm ownership should be licensed and graded based on training and experience.

I also believe that prostitution should be legalized and taxed no different than weed or alcohol.

like I said, some of his ideas were unbaked but they actually made more sense to me than any other candidates at the time.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Who would have thought that the oppressive regime they talked about was democracy...
