    When he lost the election to Biden, I went from disappointed that he wouldn’t ever see equal justice, to disappointed that not only is he running again, but somehow has a chance of winning again.

    At this point, I’m just stocking up on ammo.

        For as long as the current constitution holds up and the judicial system doesn’t become more partial. In the MAGA vision, only cisgendered, straight, right-wing, Christian, white men would be allowed to defend themselves.

        I just wanna be left alone, man. I keep to myself, I keep my head down, I don’t stir the pot by placing political signs or anything. I don’t have anything to prove to anyone. But likewise, I’m going to protect my rights as well.

          I am in the demographic that will be empowered and protected under a Trump presidency and it makes me sick. I cannot sit idly by and let the rights, safety, and freedoms I will continue to enjoy be stripped from all the other groups under Trump that aren’t white men. “The only thing nec­es­sary for the tri­umph of evil is for good men to do noth­ing.”

      I’ve been saying since trump was elected the first time, it will get really ugly before this can be put behind us. I thought Jan6th was that point; unfortunately that wasn’t low enough. I don’t know how things are going to play out, but I don’t think we’ve hit the sobering bottom and am preparing for the worst.

        We still have people praising those who fought to keep slavery in the civil war. Trump and other Republicans just did a wishdotcom nazi rally.

        This shit will not be behind us within our lifetimes.
