    We deserve all of this.

    We can't even have a peaceful conversation/debate anonymously over the internet. How are we supposed to solve our problems in the real world?
    I can not even believe that happened, These responses are out of this world.

    It's hard to talk about someone just "owning guns because they want to defend themselves" and "protecting local businesses" when the kid literally went across state lines with an assault rifle to confront people who weren't a threat to him beforehand in a community he wasn't a part of.

    You say he is taking responsible actions by calling somebody, but then you admit we don't know who. It could be the cops, it could 911, it could be his parents, it could be other people with assault rifles, it could be a phone sex hotline. There's nothing objectively responsible about operating a telephone. This is a nonsense statement. Running to the police after you fucking killed some people and are now afraid for your life also isn't really a good measure of responsibility.

    This isn't the right fight. It's certainly the white fight, but not the right one.

    When the country inevitably pulls a Cambodia and starts executing anyone with any level of higher education or interest in learning the answer is "not well." Was either last night or the night before, somebody on stage at the RNC basically issued a rally cry for rejecting education and expertise. Not even specifically liberal/leftist education or expertise. Just the entire concept in general.

    She is not alone in that sentiment in this country right now. It's wild.

    I've been seeing more and more right-wing people talking like this. They seem to be looking forward to it, and Trump losing might be the start. I can't tell you how many of them are joking that their side will win 100% because they have all the guns.

    It would most likely be state by state to some point, but this would be a war that would cripple the US to its core. It is one that won't have a winner, we will all lose, and it is sad to see so many people on my feed talking about it so care free.

    Ive watched Jericho. I know that half the nation will stay with the old administration, the other half will form a new government, and Texas will become an independent country.

    My boss has said that he can't wait for the civil war. He thinks it will be a cake walk because liberals hate guns. I asked who is going to be on his team? A bunch of Trumpy people and racists? I told him while yall been drinking your PSLs and dressing up your fucking pets, we've been surviving on the streets for decades. I said Yall lost the first civil war, and they aren't winning another.

    I never wanted to get into it with the people on my wall, but the next civil war isn't going to be won with guns, just like the next worldwar isn't. Take their internet and GPS away, they won't have a way to organize for a fight. My god it feels dumb even talking about it.

    I remember having a debate with someone I eventually blocked when I said Jim Bob whose on his second 6 pack of Budweiser and AR-15 won't be able to do shit against a tyrannical government as they would just predator drone any uprising, and he said that's why the second amendment states we should have access to surface to air missiles to take out the drones. He sadly wasn't joking. You can't win with those people, there's no changing their mind.

    I had another who said the founding fathers knew automatic weapons would come about and they should be allowed under the 2nd amendment. Her reasoning was dual wielding pistols during the revolutionary war was their version of automatic weapons.

    LOL, they were friends of former friends. Stupidity breeds stupidity and I've learned you have to really pick and choose your fights.

    the States are divided but nowhere near a civil war, people underestimate how powerful a centrifugal force is needed to initiate organized violence in a mature and prosperous society. the Yemens of the world collapse into civil war, advanced democracies where the people are fed rarely if ever do.

    Wow, so people are somehow claiming the guy shot in the head was a pedophile, and the person with the handgun that got shot in the arm is a felon. Haven't seen any proof of this, but people spouting it like it's real, yet in interviews, the county sheriff has flat out said they haven't identified the victims yet.

    Ahh yes, the great Andy Ngo, the only person to be whacked with an invisible concrete milkshake that disappeared into the void immediately after striking him. Such a great reliable source.
