I'm all for gun rights, doesn't mean I can't express tremendous gratitude for everything else RBG has done and feel terrible over her death. Politics isn't a game, there's a human side to it, if you're fine with her death because you feel it serves your specific interests, then I'm serious about the whole "Go Outside" thing.

Shit will go down come next month. I hope t doesn't get too political but then again, it IS election year.

But yeah, RIP RBG, she was a great person and a great justice who was reliable and who was kind to her fellows. Praying for her family at this time.

There is a real human element to politics, whether you see it or not. People inevitably can become tremendous fans of various political figures because they inspire ordinary people in their own lives. I'm certainly composed at this news, but I can see why people would be crying.

RBG was the one Supreme Justice who held on to many Liberal Rights, chances are they will be erased now.

Well, keeping the Supreme Court all Republican is.
Many Liberal Politicians are saying that the proceeding of a new judge should and will be after the election.
The Republicans, on the other hand, want it rushed.
