Did you forget about the part where he started a fucking insurrection because he lost an election fair and square?
He’s basically the reason the 2A exists- to act as a final measure against assholes like trump from coming to power.
(In the modern era, it’s not a very good measure, don’t get me wrong. Dudes with rifles- even LMGs- aren’t going to hold out against dudes inside tanks and flying UCAVs dropping bombs… and I’m all for not-idiotic gun control. a firearm painted black is not “tactical”… or any more dangerous.)
I don’t believe that, even in the face of a full coup, (gun) violence will solve any issues. There’s just no way that a majority of people support a violent militia taking over power of the government, no matter how illegitimate some think that government is.
As examples, look at the recent coup attempt in Turkey, or the Wagner uprising in Russia. In both cases the violent uprisings were used by the dictator to cement his power. Guns will not help you.

I don’t know how clear I can be: it’s not a very good measure.
I’m not even saying it’s a good argument.
I’m saying Trump is the best argument for it.
It’s a question of irony. Most hardcore 2a weirdo’s support trump. Yet he’s the best argument for the 2a.
Make sense?
