How many of the people crying Actual Fascism are buying guns to fight it?
- distortionfield 2y agoMe. I am. Trump keeps making jokes about a third term, about not leaving, and about getting republicans to keep him in power. But there’s also that one that wasn’t a joke where he actually tried to stay in power by targeting the most symbolic moment of the electoral vote certification with a violent insurrection. So yeah, it’s me. I’m calling him a fascist and I’ve been buying guns and gear because of it.
- drawkward 2y agoYou and I are seemingly in the minority.
- leptons 2y agoI'm going to talk with my wife tonight about buying a gun.
- drawkward 2y agoPlease learn how to use it responsibly To me, the most interesting part of going to our local gun range is seeing, in fact, that my political opponents are, at root, sensible humans who are generally motivated by the same Maslow's hierarchy of needs as I am.
- DirkH 2y agoI mean, iirc the Germans were buying guns to fight Actual Communism and other far-left boogiemen they perceived to have infiltrated their political system. The road from there to Actual Fascism was enabled and supported by a diverse working class coalition who was fed up with the status quo and in a dire economic situation.
