    As a gun owner, is it required I side with sheriffs? Can’t I just be a fifth column. Or better yet unaffiliated?

      Gun owner and ex-Army here…I have no plans to stand with maga against my country. However, I do look like the guy maga thinks they look like. So, if we need infiltrators, I’ll put my name in the hat. Many would.

      On the flip side, I just got a chuckle out of picturing a maga trying the same thing. “Hey my fellow Theys, let’s eat some avocados and talk about how great the gaygender troops are doing. Has anyone heard from antifa headquarters?”

        Do you still keep in touch with your army buddies? I have some, and they are pretty much all Republicans. They are a bit embarrassed to admit they’ll vote for Trump… But I have no doubt they will.

          The closest ones are friends for life. Most of the others know they have a lifeline if their world goes sideways and they are facing homelessness or the like. Also, yeah, got some conservatives, and they are the same way. They have been shot down enough to just “not talk politics” around us.
