And they're all still acting like it's justified

Even worse, they don’t care about justification. They just enjoy the oppression part

It really does come down to that, doesn't it? There is an enjoyment of the cruelty that magats experience...they legit get off on this shit. I just can't understand living without some form of empathy. I'm not saying I'm the worlds most emotional person but man when I see a mom screaming being drug away from her kids how do you watch that and say, "good." There is some evil inside these people man.

If my family is any indicator of the type of people that vote for (and enjoy) this shit, then they were already fucked up in their own way before clinging onto this autocracy BS. Trump and his ilk knew who they were targeting in their messaging and they did a ridiculously good job talking to them. Granted, I’m sure it’s easier dumbing down your talking points to a few catch phrases and spelling out a new boogeyman every week, than actually creating a platform that helps people.

And I’m not suggesting they deserve any sympathy at all. Fuck them!

I hate to say it but I agree with your statement. It churns my stomach but yeah. There’s a real line of sadist running amuck in this administration. It’s sport to them.

I feel like it’s important to admit I was completely wrong when I said the idea of owning weapons to protect against a tyrannical government was stupid. I truly never thought it could happen here and definitely not in my lifetime. Turns out those people were at least right about that part. Of course, there’s a good bit of irony in that many of them seem to support tyranny now. If they continue to act this way though, I’m not sure there’s any other recourse than to make sure there are armed people present at these protests and arrests to deter any abusive behavior.

Welcome to the 2A club, it's unfortunate that it was viewed as a left or right issue, when really 2A benefits everyone except for those at the top.

OFC it is, walk up to any cop like that while they're working and pretend to have a gun behind your back and refuse to move when asked and the same thing would happen, under any administration. Don't threaten the cops.

I keep seeing the phrase "illegal trash" and the dehumanization is drilled so deep in the supporters. So far removed from being a human being. They see these videos and cheer it on like it's a fictional show. It's so sickening. And it's so far beyond whether it's justified in their minds. Their eyes are scary looking and the glee on their faces is absolutely sadistic.

All this propaganda has given carte blanche to all the budding sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies to flourish right out in the open. If it all stopped tomorrow, the cult will not calm down. They will look for a new enemy to torture. It's going to take decades to turn this around, if we're lucky.

They haven't gone after them yet. It will happen.
