I thought we were unhappy women who only had cats as friends.

Now we are wolves.

I cannot keep up with this so can we compromise and be cheetahs or something?

It’s the same, “enemy is simultaneously weak and strong” rhetoric characteristic of fascism.

Yeah libs are also “sheep”.

Right wing domestic terrorists are always “lone wolfs”, and incels think they’re really “alpha males”.

In reality the right wingers are just a bunch of insecure assholes.

Perhaps there are two Democrats inside of you.

Wait, do those two internal Democrats have internal Democrats themselves? Does that make every Democrat a fractal?

The “enemy,” to people like him, are always both pathetic jokes and a horrific threat that needs to be eliminated.

The problem is that a Republicans own significantly more guns, and most times better guns than what’s available in Democrat run states.

They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.

Is there any particular reason every single gun is aimed vaguely in the direction of those two kids? It somehow makes it look extra tone deaf.

That’s because the “arming myself to take back my country from leftists” is just them blowing hot air.

They buy lots of guns because someone told them Obama or Biden wants to take away their right to buy guns, so they spend their whole savings on them thinking that they’re beating the system…

In many cases, it’s a matter of being so fucking scared of the world (common amongst Fox News and other RW media consumers) that the only way they can be comfortable is within arms reach of a gun.

The vast majority of Conservatives don’t have the guts to actually take action with their guns, because most of them bought them out of fear of bodily injury, not to enter battle and put their own skin in the game.

The few extremists that actually want to start a civil war are mostly morons with no training who won’t accomplish anything but a handful of disorganized mass shootings that will actually freak out everyone else, including other gun owners.

I hear that the average conservative militia has trained extensively in the military art of marching in formation marching walking down the street. Some of them even bought a box of green tip right off the store shelf.

every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it’s been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.

Hate to break it to you, but you literally just described the entire state of West Virginia, Idaho, both Dakotas, Missouri, Louisiana, most of Florida, Oklahoma, and parts of fucking Oregon.
