Time to get used to hunger

Nice, by the book. The fascist admin guide as seen in most of Europe, recently

Don’t forget to put all the books in a pile and set fire to them. And smash their shop windows.

When again are americans using their right to bear arms to protect themselves against an authoritarian government? If you dont do it now never again use this argument for the second amendment.

A lot of Americans don't feel this is authoritarian and actually welcome it. They would love to have Trump as president for life.

Our arms don't exactly match theirs. The military has a lot more budget than citizens.

Right, which is why the whole 2nd amendment argument is silly in this day and age.

If we go by the text, only "americans" have that right. Now, the important question is "what is an american"? What characterizes a "non-american" according to the founding fathers?

White male wealthy supremacists?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Dammit! Foiled by racists once again!

........you'd think I'd put /s, but no.

I don't doubt that is how the current supreme court would interpret it. This approach of asking "how the founding fathers would think" results in exclusion of non-white citizens. On the other hand, lack of atandardized identification documents in the USA result in this mess.
