I want to start out by saying that I don’t condone violence. But as someone who gee up in ruby red Utah and hearing almost daily how the 2nd amendment and gun nuts is all that stood between America being a flourishing democracy and devolving into an authoritarian hellscape, I find it interesting that all those “freedom fighting” gun nuts have gone MIA lately. Why aren’t they concerned with colleges being assaulted and defunded for permitting free speech on their campuses? Where are the gun nuts standing up for judges, doctors, and pollsters that Trump attacks? Why aren’t they making a peep about deportations of American citizens who wrongspeak? Isn’t like freedom of speech supposed to be important? Why aren’t they standing up for social security recipients? Why aren’t militias forming to protest tariffs? Deportations? The debasement of our friends and allies? Why instead do we see these gun nuts helping to enforce authoritarianism?
As someone who endured the tea bagger movement, I find it fascinating that these losers rushed to defend a racist welfare cow herder in Nevada (the bundy kkklan) but are mysteriously silent when an actual fascist has taken office and is executing unconstitutional and racist policies as we speak. Where’s the militia to protect the most vulnerable in our society? Why do they care more about teslas and protecting Musk than Medicaid recipients?
Wasn’t one of the main reasons why the idiotic second amendment is so sacrosanct because it was supposed to protect us? Instead, haha I think we’re seeing a first hand lesson about why the second amendment was established; it has always meant to empower white and powerful conservatives over more progressive minded people and outcasts/vulnerable population. I think this amendment needs to be adjusted to meet modern day societies and their well-being. It’s clear that the second only empowers authoritarians and their brownshirts. It literally does nothing to preserve American democracy. In fact, it acts to squash it and empower American democracy’s enemies.
