American Politics XV: Trump and '24 Already....

[The Black Forrest]

Can you point out the party that advocates for both?

Well, there's the Libertarians....

That is true. Even the angry ones my way argue for both.

[San Lumen]

And if they rule how I think they will this country will cease to be a democracy.

I'm sure that this is a rational and accurate statement and not hyperbolic nonsense in any way ("not a democracy but a republic" pedantic aside.)

Its not hyperbolic.

i just figured out a really easy way for president trump to finally end american democracy and have the patriots take full control and end all deep state cabalist threats to liberty and freedom. when election year comes, announce full 100% tax breaks on all citizens, mention the cancellation of the election in one sentence, then go right back to talking about the tax breaks. everyone will be too distracted with the tax breaks to even think about voting, and the patriots will gain their final victory against the corrupt socialist establishment

This nation has already ceased to be a democracy and it is not due to Republicans and President Trump.

Right, it’s because of Republicans and President Reagan

As a Proud Republican Trump supporter, Ron DeSantis supporter and Ronald Reagan supporter, I like your 100 % tax break idea for all citizens.

The sad thing?…..I know people who would support that scenerio.

Still. You did get a chuckle from me.

I would like to think somebody who left an authoritarian regime would know better.

Ignoring the fact that the Libertarian party brings their own unique cans of worms to the table, California's primary system prevents them from being an option anyhow.

This one would be a capitalist authoritarian regime that would let him run his plantation without giving a damn about workers rights, so it’s a-okay in his book

On what grounds, precisely?

Voting rights = Gun rights

[American Legionaries]

Debatable.

Voting rights = Gun rights

Verifiably untrue.

Easier to keep your guns when other people can’t vote for politicians who’d support gun control

GMS: I strongly agree and the Leftist Democrat Politicians, VIPs and Leftist Media are destroying the Democracy of the USA, with their Hateful, undemocratic, arrogant and intolerant comments, calling us, Pro Republicans, Pro Trump, Pro Ron DeSantis, Pro Ronald Reagan supporters, Evil Fascist Nazis, they don't respect the Democratic rights of American Patriot, Nationalist Citizens of the USA who think differently than they do.

Those proposed tax breaks would be a cover up for installing Donald Trump as president for life, though.

The Democrats are simply exercising their own democratic right to call you out on your bullshit

The two-party status quo is holding steady, so I'd say we haven't fallen yet.

[The Grand World Order]

My favourite part of this post is about how all the things you cite to demonstrate a slippery slope didn't happen.

Oh, the NFA (1934) didn't happen?
And then the FFA (1938)?
And then the GCA (1968)?
And then the Hughes amendment (1986)?
And then the AWB (1994) which fortunately died?
And now the attempts to revive AWB, the whole "the 2A means the National Guard" nonsense?

It's good to know that I won't have my house raided by federal agents if I drill some funny holes in my rifles, and that my FFL dealer was just joshing around when I tried ordering some 20rd mags and he told me they're illegal where I live. Clearly, I've been victimized by misinformation and some good pranking.

Are you also holding that pride parades don't happen, this dude doesn't teach kids (admittedly from our neighbors to the north,) we don't actively try to integrate drag queens into childhood education and programming, and our legislatures haven't attempted to legally require compliance with the pronoun circus?

None of that happened?

I'll at least admit Reagan deserves a ton of criticism regarding his trampling of gun rights, but it's absolutely disingenuous to suggest gun control activists have not continuously been chipping away at 2A rights.

Can you end something that never truly existed? Notwithstanding the inevitable republic vs democracy debate, have we ever really had a democratic form of government?
