    Reading these points is like stepping back to the early 2010s when this advice was being given by foreigners told to mind their own business.

        You’re onto it. You remember.

        It’s really frustrating to see this. I remember some people getting really savaged by Americans for telling them to do these things.

        Admittedly there were a few among the Americans awake to what was happening as well, but most of it was ‘it can’t happen’, ‘mind your own business it’s our right not to vote’ and ‘our institutions would protect us from that’.

        Yep.

        Edit: and this beauty; ‘we have the 2nd Amendment…’

          Effectively, the 2A doesn’t exist. Pretti was far from the first, but he proved it to the precious little white people. Cops will murder you and get away with it, whether you’re dangerous or not, just for having a gun. Nobody but nobody effectively has the right to bear arms. Except maybe another cop, or one of his KKK friends.
