The left/progressives better start getting armed. The right will not deescalate and with the open melding of State security forces + militias they will become more emboldened to enact State sanctioned violence on all fronts.

No one is going to save us but ourselves. And realistically since we are vastly outgunned this is probably not going to end well. But still..if you can id recommend buying weapons. Legally of course.

I get where you're coming from, but I REALLY DON'T WANT TO. I don't want to be in a household that owns guns. I don't want to live in a country where a bunch of jackoff morons with masturbation-induced erectile dysfunction own personal armories the size of a small garrison. It's so fucking depressing how feckless Democrats have been on gun stuff, and it's even more depressing to think about the only real option being Arm The Left.

As I said in my (admittedly tl;dr) comment, if that is the position you hold, THAT IS OKAY! Taking up a firearm when you know you don't have the desire to utilize it is abjectly pointless. It's not your lane, you have a different thing that you are able to contribute to the movement - DO THAT THING in a place or for a group that needs it but is lacking it!

I hate guns too. Always have but I see no path forward that doesn't include being heavily armed. I live in a virulently right-wing, gun nut heavy spot within a blue state. The white ppl here are sure as fuck armed for the boogaloo uprising. I'm going to meet that.

The malheur guys lost their shit when they couldn't get french vanilla creamer. All these guys are massively overcompensating for shortcomings. They've been shooting at people with water bottles and maybe plywood shields. Sounds like the protestors in Kenosha are getting smarter, they had guns they just didn't use them.

Next time just shoot the fat little twerp.

Fuck yeah. Dunno how I missed that till now. Looks like the Tac Gear cosplay doesn't do a whole hell of a lot does it.

IN THE LEGS OF COURSE, with live rounds. Which isn't incitement or anything, since it's the platform of the Democratic Presidential candidate espoused on national TV.
