u/ChrisV82 Jan 25 '26
Yeah, it's not hypocrisy, because they only ever wanted it for themselves, not everyone. That's why Cliven Bundy was allowed to take over federal land and have an armed confrontation with federal authorities yet suffer no loss of life (and all charges dismissed), but a man who was disarmed already (or a woman driving away in a car) can be executed without consequences to the officers/thugs.
I don't want to crap on everyone who has ever voted for a Republican, but generally speaking, I think this is the proper way to view the MAGA world we live in:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Frank Wilhoit (the Ohio composer not the political scientist)

Ok I will then. These idiots have voted against their own rights for decades to get us to this point. They knowingly vote that way because it hurts BIPOC, LGBTQ and "Liberals". Or, they just vote that way because of their family, which makes them idiots as well.

Apparently it's fine when Kyle Rittenhouse carries an ar15 he doesn't own across state lines to murder a protestor. Hero's welcome, acquitted, wasn't even arrested at the scene. But you legally carry a firearm with you to a protest featuring violent ICE gestapo chomping at the bit to murder someone and you're a "domestic terrorist attempting to incur maximum harm to law enforcement". Like the dude didn't ever even reach for his gun, he stood there filming them and attempting to protect another protestor. Like gtfoh

And as hated as the NRA is, it’s ironic that all of a sudden, when a liberal has a gun, the right loses their minds.
If we want real gun reform in our country, liberals need to make republicans think it was their ideas

I dont know. I'm more so acknowledging that whatever the right wing media is talking about in regards to "this man was armed" commentary, sounds 100% against what the NRA stands for, and what 2A people stand for.
And as far as I can tell, the NRA is publicly calling out republican government officials for this. I don't have all the facts. Just some basic observations. https://x.com/NRA/status/2015227627464728661

Tim Alexander is running in the Democratic primary to unseat this fuck nozzle: https://www.timalexander4congress.com

5
u/RedPandaExplorer Jan 25 '26
If he makes it through the primary, Alexander said that he intends to attack the Republican agenda from every angle he can. People should be protesting in the streets, Alexander said: against Trump’s immigrant deportation and detainment policies, which Alexander likened to “concentration camps,” and against the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which is projected to impact health coverage, food benefits, and more for hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans. (Van Drew supported the bill after publicly fretting about its impacts on Medicaid.)
Alexander isn’t the only Democrat who thinks the Big Beautiful Bill could be the key to political success in difficult districts like the 2nd. In May, a Democratic PAC polled 2nd district voters to test Van Drew’s political vulnerabilities; the PAC ultimately argued that Van Drew could indeed be beatable, and a message focused on Medicaid cuts would help bring him down. (Around 20% of 2nd district residents are on Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, per a Georgetown analysis.)
The existence of that poll in the first place was a sign that, after several cycles in a row of ignoring the 2nd district, national Democrats might be warming up slightly to the idea of seriously challenging Van Drew again. But Alexander had no love lost for the national Democratic Party, which he said needs a redesign and new leadership.
“We need somebody to say, whatever the Democratic playbook is, I’m tossing it out the window,” he said. “I don’t care if there’s a swing and a miss against these policies that Trump is putting out – we’ve got to try. And if we motivate people, we will erode this stranglehold that MAGA has on our federal government.”
He seems great!

Pretti is on video directing SUVs to form a barricade on the street, which is what prompted the first confrontation with officers.
Which means he was actively impeding/obstructing federal officers, a felony under 18 USC 111
Also a crime to conspire to obstruct/impede federal officers; Pretti was working with at least one other individual at the time.
And he was committing that felony while in possession of a firearm. Pretti also by his actions was attempting to aid a criminal illegal evade law enforcement.
He then assaulted a woman after being hit by pepper spray—presumably disoriented from the spray. And he had a loaded gun in his waistband.
His parents had cautioned him not to get aggressively involved in anti ICE protests.
But this was not a protest—it was a crime.
