    Why do people think that’s a leftist?

    Sounds like every single american who sees masked guys in their neighborhood and hasn’t turned on the news in a couple years.

          I have four myself. I hate to carry one though. I’m too aware of the responsibility involved. I’d rather be beaten up than kill someone.

        It leaves the regular americans who are not into political tags. You know, most of us.

          History books are gonna stick people and movements into categories whether they actively espouse the labels themselves or not, but tbf not reading history books because “we’re not like those other countries” is about as American as it gets, so rock on

            The lesson here is to recognize all those labels that are stuck on people in those history books are possibly biased garbage.

            Maybe the labels are less valuable than people think.

        I don’t like guns. But if you got 'em, use 'em.

        Okay but imagine a guy who hasn’t watched the news in 3 years. Does he know what ICE is? Is he going to understand what a lib is in 2026?

        There is a percentage of americans that don’t even have internet accesss.
