They’re going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they’ll start using that to target people they don’t like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you’re on the “dangerous person’s list” now “dangerous people” can’t hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a “mental health” hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their “discretion” to put anyone they don’t like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you’re “mentally unhealthy” don’t believe in God? Believe it or not “mental health problems” not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can’t allow the “mentally unhealthy people” to procreate! So we’ll have to sterilize them. Of course they can’t be trusted, so we’ll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them “jobs” at the “mental health” camps!

I get what you’re trying to say but you’re quite far on a Fantasy path there. Yeah, the US has some fucked up rules and yeah, there are fucked up people wanting fucked up control over others, but you’re talking Nazi Germany here

The police have access to warrantless tracking information on you through private companies in the form of license plate readers. Is a slow boil, but we’ll get there soon enough.

I agree, Democrats are not going to do this in your country.

They are, however, going to continue arming fascist states and supporting with money and logistics their fascist wars.

And the fact that Republicans would be more eager to do that doesn’t mean a lot. Republicans look like useless nonsense evil, a bit like Russia’s regime, and Democrats look like effective intelligent evil - some kind of Empire in old Star Wars.

I really hope Democrats will not be like that after the election, the issue is - currently USA still has a Democratic administration. That administration didn’t even pretend it’s going to check Israel, Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Just my PoV as someone who does not live in the USA and is not going to move there in near perspective.

Gun stores are the final decider on who is and isn’t buying guns. There should be more training for them, but also more liability attached as well. They know the people who are making straw purchases and they ignore it because they want sales.

I know quite a few local FFLs and not a single one of them would risk their license and livelihood by knowingly selling to straw purchasers.

I fucking wish we could share medical details between government agencies, but we can’t even competently share driver’s license info.

A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for “post natal abortions”©

We’re forced to have cars because we’ve been denied effective public transportation, even in metropolitan areas.
