this is what started this particular conversation.

my points are:
1. nobody is asking anybody anything in earnest in this exchange
2. "the people that are trying to take their guns away" describes liberals
3. the people that would be asking for help are protesters
4. the demographic of the protesters skews overall more left than liberal (and others have also characterized the protesters as primarily antifa/anarchists)
5. anarchists & other leftists do not want to take their guns
6. nobody is asking the (right-wing) "gun nuts" to bring their guns and save them; the left has gun nuts, too.
7. the reason the joke is being made is because those right-wing gun nuts talk a big game about tyranny, and will demonstrate against things that are actually just inconveniences that they've labeled tyranny, but when actual tyranny occurs, they don't care because the appropriate people are suffering

Many did show up, they were told to go home, got called right wing extremists/neo-nazis

I'm sure as fuck not going to go out, commit suicide by FBI/DHS-agent to fight for your right to set fire to a courthouse, or protect communists.

There are indeed a lot of left wang gun nuts, but there's no label for them, thus, cant be used by the armchair freedom fighter trying to craft snarky tweets that sound more cutting and profound than they actually are

People who wear their mask incorrectly just to stick it to the man never grew the fuck up. Are they seriously using a five year old's tactic?

are you talking about boogs? the jury is still out on them, they're even less coalesced than antifa, so while the ones that want to start a race war may not be indicative of the whole, their presence *in "uniform"* was unhelpful because people were dealing with actual fash (PBs mostly, but the PNW has some other additional groups that I understand made their presence known) working with cops and pulling agent provocateur shit. even with avowed leftists, there's badjacketing and snitchjacketing, and a lot of it is just intense paranoia for pretty understandable reasons
 
Has ol' doublebarrel Joe announced a VP? 'cause that's who's going to be running shit.
That guy has enough trouble remembering his own name.

We worked out all the details just sign here, Joe.

Around here it's on their chin.

They recently re-banned indoor eating in my county. It's nonstop calls from restaurants that people take their to go orders and sit down and start eating. Then refuse to leave. Then get disorderly.

The best line I've heard over and over is "where are we supposed to eat?" NOT HERE.

No. He fucked up by backing himself in a corner when he was losing to angry old Bernie and said his VP nominee would be a woman no matter what in an attempt to gain some votes. Now instead of vetting the best candidates he vetting people like Elizabeth Warren.
