"Christo-fascists are coming!"

They're already here.

No shit. They wield the gavel now. Thanks to a bunch of shitheads who couldn't see clear to stop them. That's the difference.

"They're rounding up brown people and LGBT will be next!"

Been saying concentration camps and trains are inbound for years now.

So have the fascists, MAGAts and Qanuts. A lot of people might think about why that is. At any rate, thanks to inaction it's happening right now. Saying it for years did nothing, but voting would have. I'd say you chose the wrong one, but there's very little chance you're a US voter.

"Give up your guns!"

What country are you lampooning? Who the fuck has said that, publicly, in the last 40 years? Are you talking about restrictions on assault weapons? Tougher licensing requirements? Oversight of any kind? Not that you're splitting hairs or anything but those are incredibly different from "Give up your guns!".

"But they'll kill you if you defend yourself!"

Again . . . nevermind.

My grandfather used assault weapons to kill fascists. Maybe he should have gotten a license from the fascists, or used a pistol?

We didn't have school shootings while the Black Panthers had access to assault weapons.

Kudos to your grandfather. Are you saying assault weapons are necessary as a civilian?

You can't figure out any other way to kill fascists? And what the hell does getting a permit to buy an assault wepon have to do with giving up guns?

I can't think of any way to kill fascists that they won't ban when it's effective.

Well that's probably true, but "give up your guns!" is not a Democratic party thing, or anything but the most pacifist of liberal "things", afaik.

I'd like to see this fascist white house try to take away assault weapons from their voting base. That'd be a real popcorn event.
