    Good luck, I’m always labeled a rightwing nut job because I’m a die hard 2a supporter, even though I support a ton of social policies that focus on helping our citizens here. The hard left are so afraid/mad about firearms they’re willing to ignore facts and create conspiracies to justify their actions. They’re the magas of the left, which sucks because most of those types always act like they’re intellectually more honest than the right.

      To be fair, they’re not the hard left. Hang with enough actual socialists and communists and you’ll hear a lot of comments to the extent of a “well armed proletariat”. These tend to be United States neoliberal centrists, who believe they’re hard left because their Overton window has been yanked hard to the right.

        That’s a fair assessment. I’ve always said, if the dems want to completely destroy the repubicans and make force a new party to come from the ashes of whatever is left. All they would have to do is drop their anti-2a rhetoric and they’d sweep pretty much everything.

          You’re getting downvotes for it but you’re right. Once the Republican party collapses I expect the Dems to change their stance to pull voters from their challengers on the left.
