“If you have one group of people who feels very comfortable that their citizenship is secure, they will feel much more comfortable being politically active,” she said. “And if you have another group of people who worries that if their political activity gets on the wrong side of somebody in power, that their lives and livelihoods might be vulnerable — that is a lesser citizenship. That is a reason why people might step back from political participation.”
And there it is, reduce resistance little by little, then eliminate everyone.
Second amendment looking like the only alternative.
Too late, the opposition (my fellow Democrats) made sure most of us aren’t armed.
No they didn’t you idiot.
Lives in a nation with more gun deaths than a major conflict every year.
“We need more guns!”
If guns stopped fascism we should be the least fascist nation ever. Since we are the most fascist nation it is more likely guns are part of the problem, not the solution.
I have read the premise phrased as follows:
“No amount of meaningful change will occur until the wealthy fear for their lives.”
There will be no peace until the wealthy cease to be wealthy.
Counterpoint: They most definitely are the solution.
Most countries give up when they are only one gun away from total peace.
Counter-counter point: It takes fascism to defeat fascism therefore we should embrace gun culture and become fascist. The only way to stop a good fascist is to become a bad one /S
With resistance like this, your country is so boned.
Please, you have no clue what history has shown us. We are the worst, most violent civilization the world has ever seen. We lose more Americans every year to gun violence than most countries lose in a major conflict. That is our fucking baseline.
You better wise up quick.
You’re an adolescent nation acting out belligerently because of a massive inferiority complex. Don’t flatter yourself.
The neoliberal controlled opposition is disarmed, because you don’t need personal arms when you have cops and your goal is preserving the power of the state and the capitalist boot.
The actual opposition (who have been disenfranchised by your fellow Democrats), were never so naive and are armed just fine. Just disorganized and excluded from the political machinery.
Sounds like a personal problem.
“Most of us aren’t armed”? Homie US citizens own 120 guns per 100 people. The fucking answer to absolutely every problem here, left or right, has been to arm themselves. We have literally never had more left-wing people carrying pistols.
Like Jesus Christ, someone got shot and killed at the ‘No Kings’ rally in Idaho, and all three parties involved were left-wing. I am not sure what planet you’re on, but it ain’t Earth.
Yes, but averaging is the wrong take here. I believe the actual amount of gun owners is under 40%, if I remember the studies. I personally witnessed a messy divorce, and the individual that had a personal stake in the gun collection moved somewhere in the realm of 200 rifles out of the house. I thought I knew gun nuts* before that, and it blew my mind. Those sort of folks are going to massively skew the guns per capita.
*I had seen collections of 50+, but they were rare and rich… most ‘nuts’ that I knew just liked their personal amount of 5-10 that they thought were the bee’s knees.
Chilling effect until barren tundra. Got it.
