In short, I know they support a Dictatorship and have no reason to expect they want it for any good reason.


You're like what I imagine the Republicans are when I'm feeling particularly nasty.

That is to say you're acting like a caricature, which is mildly amusing but mostly scary.

It's almost like there's a legitimate reason people are afraid of Democrats taking power.

This isn't to say every Democrat is bad. Most just don't realize what they're supporting.

Hmm that is a good point though they should still try to avoid to make it too complex and divert off to other investigations. I think throughout 2020 we'll see more damaging revelations, including his tax returns and potential financial crimes the South District is investigating. After all, a President maybe immune to indictment but they're not immune to investigation, which Trump thinks he is.

Pelosi is in overall charge, and she was not thrilled to move with impeachment inquiry until evidence reached critical mass. She is devious when she needs to be.

Biased Partisan Democrat Adam Schiff is more devious than Nancy Pelosi. Twisted President Trumps words against him on national TV and Video to make it sound worse, to hurt President Trump politically. He is also overseeing the impeachment process against President Trump with unfair tactics. Lets not deny it.

The short of it, is that militias are used as a justification for the people's right to keep and bear arms. Not the requirement.
"Militia" in this context is somewhat ambiguous, but it likely refers to the general populace. "Well-regulated" is often cited by people as a cheap gotcha, but, around the late 18th century, "well-regulated" simply meant "in working order". So, a functional militia composed of the armed population.

Little update on the poll:

We got total votes of 211 so far of whom 116 or 55% are in favor of a impeachment, removal and subsequent prosecution of Donald Trump. The next popular opinion with 38 votes and 18% of all is that he shouldn't be impeached as the impeachment inquiry is politically motivated.

With 24 votes or 11% the next option follows, suggesting that no impeachment being necessary as the 2020 elections are to resolve the matter.

With 211 votes the poll got already over twice as much votes as the previous one despite it only runs since a few days which might be related to an increasing interested in the thread topic due the impeachment procedures. With the choosen and most votes option being somewhat reflective of the strong partisan polarization, antipathy (or resolute support) surrounding Donald Trump.

If we add the 6% from the second impeachment option we get a 61% majority in favor of impeachment and removal from office.

Which says a lot considering we're much more antitrump then the US house and still can't get the 2/3rd majority needed to impeach.

And even if there were no draft that doesn't matter because the 2nd amendment doesn't say "potential conscripts" it says "the people".

It's pretty exemplary of the mental gymnastics involved in the reaction whenever anyone suggests that the second amendment means something other than "anyone can own any gun ever".
