    We have plenty of armed citizens, but that’s the hilariously fucked part of it. Gun owners are BY VAST, FARRRRR MAJORITY- Republicans. If it’s not on Fox News they don’t know it, haven’t heard of it, don’t give a fuck about learning it. Even if they suddenly every single one of them realized how fucked they are, and they ALL lined up outside of their local city halls, state capitols, and so on TOMORROW they’d only be answered with the largest “riot control” force ever assembled on the planet with more tear gas than they can imagine. Not one word of their message would be heard, only violence would be televised. We learned that in LA.

    People are already going hungry and dying, just not the people you might immediately expect. Right now it’s the low income elderly, (who can’t get medical help to save their lives, the sick, the homeless, and immigrants, who (if they haven’t already been put in camps) are too afraid to even say more than “Hi” in passing when I pass them in apartment halls.

    This place is fucked, but most haven’t realized it yet.

      And when Trunp sends MAGA minions to try to annex Canada, they’ll discover that we are also armed to the teeth. We just don’t make it our identity.
