As the situation in regard to report immigrants escalated, and the army may be used against Americans, do you believe there's a way back, or is this a one way street to civil war?

Nope. They're headed straight towards jackboot dictatorship.

If nothing else, Trump and his henchmen are proving day after day that the Americans talking big about their god-given Second Amendment right that keeps the government in check as the reason to own so many firearms and overlook so many deaths by firearm was basically a pretense: this is literally the scenario when they swore right and left they would exercise it and they aren't.

All a bunch of phoneys, is what they are. And they're getting the nasty dictatorship they richly deserve.

Oh hell no. Fuck off with this.

Phony? Try most of them are MAGA. They like how things are going. Fascists and racists, most of them.

And why is that? Because my Democrat party and the vast majority of my fellow Democrats are anti-gun.

Therefore, almost all the “2a” people you refer to like all the jack booted thuggery going on, and there aren’t enough of the rest of us to make a difference: One protester with a gun gets shot and or arrested. You need twenty+. And that’s before Shitler sent in the now-dishonored USMC. wtf are even 20 armed civilians supposed to do against trained military combat units?

So go ahead and STFU. If any of my fellow US Democrats are reading this, Fuck You for being part of the problem.
