Umm, I hate this comment because it’s basically assuming there will be some kind of armed conflict between normal people. I don’t think it’s necessarily going to happen, and we shouldn’t stoke the flames for it. What’s better than saying inane comments like “get a gun” is to reduce voter apathy and hopelessness, educate people on their voting choices, and get them registered to vote.
Social media has a tendency to heighten emotions, and there are many, many state actors who abuse that fact. I squarely lay any blame for Rittenhouse, Charlottesville car ramming victim, and Jan 6th on social media spread disinformation and incitement. Don’t believe everything you read about “supporters of [insert ideological enemy]”.
That said, access to guns is a right for Americans and there’s nothing wrong with knowing self defense. But know that proper gun training and discipline is not scaling with gun ownership. So people are basically creating unsafe environments and situations for their families and others. Don’t do this, don’t be stupid. If you get a gun for any reason (sports or defense), learn safety!
Overall, it’s important to get more progressives in congress and other places of power and authority. Not advocate for armed conflict
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But the MAGA movement has all the hallmarks of a terrorist group. If they don’t win there’s a non zero chance they actually start some shit.
