        Except for the fact that we’ve been collecting guns for 250 years to prevent this exact scenario. I support the right to own a gun more than I support actual gun ownership, if that makes any sense. A government SHOULD fear its people but I worry that ship sailed a hundred years ago.

          Currently they don’t fear citizens with guns; they’re fishing for them, trying to bait them into violence so they can use that to sell the rest of the public on martial law and mass arrests.

      Every time I think of our current dictatorship I look forward to 2028 when it’s over.

      But just look how much damage he’s done in only a the first few months, I dread to imagine how much he’s going to destroy in the next 3 years.

      At this point we’re all just counting on his health failing any day now, the sooner the better.

      And hoping his successors come back to their right minds and restore USA back to land of the free, American Dream and all that.

        You expect 2028 to be…better?

        Nah dude. It’s going to get worse before it gets worse…

          I don’t think you can make that prediction. Its quite possible things will become tepidly bearable again… before getting much much worse than it is now.

            Everything is steadily getting worse in every category. That means that today is both the worst day in American history, and the best day we’ll ever have again. I absolutely promise you that there will come a day when you dream of having the problems we have now.
