Last I checked, there are 3,756 Republicans running for the GOP presidential nomination, and the vast majority of them want voters to be terrified.
Well, y’know, Barrack Obama was gonna do it, but then they complained really loudly, and so he … just didn’t. So that was like a big win for them, you can imagine. They literally prevented our entire country from going all 1984. American heroes, certainly.
Epic.
As much as I hate the republican party and everything they stand for, this article has an infantile view of how politics actually work.
For example, the only reason any non-cop in NYC or NJ can carry a gun is because of republicans recent actions. It was practically impossible for all recent history until the new supreme court, which only looks like it does because of a decades long effort by both republican congressmen and a republican president. (Also this was of dubious legitimacy)
There are a lot of different positions in the US government, and everybody in those will do things the other party doesn’t like. This article is just reductionist bait to make one party feel better than the other.
While you’re right about gun expansion and it’s true this article is bait, you’re focusing on a different thing than the author is. The author is pointing out that Republican rhetoric doesn’t match reality. “You’re living in Hell!” Trump said, but that’s not the case. Immigrants haven’t flooded the country, the Republican-forecasted crime wave hasn’t materialized, Democrats aren’t going to jail, etc.
