It depends. Are you registered Republican? Then yes, otherwise no. Only Republicans deserve 2A rights because they’ve earned that right. Or something like that. Can you imagine what would have happened had the Capitol police shot the insurrectionists wholesale instead of just the one? ---

“I believe that the COVID virus is real,” he said. “However, I don’t know that it’s any worse than the common cold, and we somehow managed to get through the common cold as we developed overtime vaccinations and herd immunity and things of this nature.” We have vaccinations against the common cold? He’s from Arkansas, in case anyone is wondering. Another big pat on the back for Republicans, who are clearly not sending “their best”. Or… are they? ---

Yeah the Republitards do this. They go full-on cult - anti-mask, anti-vaccine, equivocate on a restrictions and science, attack Fauci. And then finally when they see that white teens from shit kicker country are dying, they start getting a grip on reality. This is why I said when this pandemic first began that shit kickers needed to die and that we needed convoys of funeral trucks in shit kicker country. And of course I was vilified for making those remarks, but shit, here we are more than a year later, and we know how this plays out, over and over again. I was right. As insensitive as it might have seemed. This pandemic will get better only when white Trump voters suffer. ---
