The GOP are violent psychopaths. Stay strapped.

Top Tip: Conceal carry in the small of the back isn't the most convenient for drawing, but if you're, let's say, puffy, it works better.

I used to be a little more and it wasn’t as comfortable but I got into some serious shape and can carry appendix really comfortably now with the right set up. I always felt a bit vulnerable carrying in the small of the back cos I’d always worry about being ambushed but it is a quick draw. Just have to be careful about scanning unintended targets when drawing like that

And they get all worked up when you call them fascists and Nazis. Maybe stop doing Nazi shit if you don't want to be called a Nazi.

9/11? No, grandpa. We were dealing with the middle east for the past 20 years thanks to 9/11.

we have been dealing with it for 20+years before 9/11 too. post 9/11 was just continuation of the previous 20 years.

I mean, the man’s a prick. But the headline says something he didn’t.

What he says is that 9/11 and the shooting of charlie kirk have one thing in common; hatred of the US. he goes on to say that division leads to hatred and murder, and then says this bill is intended to stop division. So he implies that flying the lgbtq+ flag has lead to death and murder like 9/11, but not specifically 9/11. It is indeed a click baity title, but not far off either.

100% agree with your reading. 100% think this dude needs a slap.

But, yeah. The headline is click bait and it pissed me off a little. Fighting back against bozos like this requires a steady hand that doesn’t give them ammo for future arguments.

“YOU said I said X, but I clearly didn’t say X, therefore nothing you say is correct.” It’s disingenuous, but it’s the bullshit they pull.

That is a silly thing to worry about, since fascists doesn't believe in words. Even if you said nothing at all, they will make up things to give them ammo for future arguments. There is no rationally debating a fascist, they only believe in power. So don't waste any energy or time pretending you can convince one with arguments.

While I agree with the premise, dude. You’re basically saying “you can’t put out this fire, so it’s okay if we throw in some logs and shit.”

No, man. It’s a fire. The situation is not ideal. Don’t add shit to it.
