what's his actual goal here?

To cause enough instability in all aspects of society that it affects everybody. Once everybody is in the same position, it's easier to convince them all of what (or who) to blame, and people's desperation will allow them to justify whatever atrocities are "necessary" to remedy their problems. Right now, it's "You're poor because of immigrants". Tomorrow, it'll be "You're in danger because of trans people". Soon, "You're being surveilled because of dissenters", "You're unhappy because of women", etc.

When they control the problems, they control the solutions. Disrupting the food chain is the fastest, most immediate way to grab society by the throat; we'll do anything before we go on a diet.

Oh, but it can.

Then fucking DO something about it. Every breath the man takes, he's breaking a new law, but nobody ever does anything about it. They just keep letting him get away with every fucking thing he does, and it's emotionally exhausting hearing about Trump's Crime Of The Day every single day and never seeing any consequences.

The Dems are really losing my support lately. The inability with the party to take any sort of meaningful action has given Trump the presidency twice now, and is driving me fucking insane. Put the cunt behind bars already.

Now why would an account created 1 hour ago be asking something like this?

I'm gonna be honest, Mastodon is kinda trash, on its own. It's clunky, ugly, and feels like a platform from 2010 (but not in a good way). I think getting people onboard with a Misskey/Sharkey instance is going to be much better. The feature set is a lot closer to Twitter, and it does literally everything Mastodon does, but better.

Were democrats the ones hunting down FEMA? You're forgetting (or ignoring) the fact that Trump supporters, who identified themselves as such, were the ones who made active threats against the lives of FEMA members. Your democrat boogeyman doesn't exist in this scenario.

If a bunch of people wearing the same uniform routinely threaten your life, you're going to start avoiding people in that uniform. It's not a double standard, it's preservation of life.

Dang, I didn't wanna say "musket" because I thought that was too old, but maybe those were still in use at the time. So even a BAR is more modern than what Madison could've had in mind.

The second amendment doesn't say "keep and bear some kinds of arms", it just says "keep and bear arms".

Yeah, but it was also written at a time when the most advanced armaments available were bolt-action rifles. The idea that civilians could own and fire 1000+ round-per-minute machine guns in their backyard was unimaginable back then.

2A needs to be updated. The times have changed. Arms have changed.

I mean, they weren't exactly private nudes to begin with, so I'm not really sure what sort of leverage this is supposed to represent. "Look at what we found on Google Images!" isn't much of a threat.

This seems more like mocking than threatening.

Every conservative accusation is a confession.
