Why would he need to? Gun owners are his greatest allies. If he told them to go out and start shooting leftists and enemies of the people, most would jump at the chance. It would be the Civil War 2.0 so many dream of.
Right, so all firearm owning conservative-leaning citizens are potential murderers under Trump's spell. Nobody is dreaming of Civil War 2.0. The more outlandish you get, the faster you burn what little credibility you have left. Get up from the computer, go outside into the fresh air, and rediscover that Twitter World isn't the Real World.
I said most, not all. And it didn't start with Trump. Gun-toting "patriots" have been fantasizing about shooting Deep State agents, leftist protesters, and rioting blacks for years. All legitimate cases of self-defense, of course. Trump just knows how to get those people on his side. You post this on Wordforge of all places? I guess Marso, Storm, Muad Dib, et al. never existed in your world.
Paranoid delusion. Hyperbole strawman. Paranoid delusion. Hyperbole strawman. If the 63 million who voted for Trump, including vets with actual military training, were the homicidal Pavlov dogs you allege, you'd already be dead. Your examples are two guys who haven't been seen on Wordforge for years, and another guy who's dead. At any rate, if Civil War 2.0 is coming, I suggest you get your ass to the nearest gun show and start stocking up on weapons and ammo. Get a nice AR-15 and a .45 1911 backup.
Both sides play to their base and whip up hysteria. Bill Maher has been asking guests for weeks how the government and military will respond if Trump loses in 2020 and refuses to vacate the office. As dumb as Trump may be, he's not going to barricade himself inside the Oval Office if Beto beats him in 2020.
I’d like to know where I said they don’t know what the salute signified? Anyway, I work in a restaurant, no I’m not a busboy, with a bunch of teenagers, no I’m not a teenager and when all of this Nazi shit started drawing swastikas and laughing, they thought it was funny. They also drew Pepe the frog and thought that was funny. Then when the whole thing with the okay sign meaning white power and started going around flashing the okay sign. They take any popular meme and run with it. They’re not Nazis, they’re not racist or white nationalists, they’re dumb who love to troll liberals or really anyone and apparently it’s working. It has nothing to do with tribalism, I just see it in my daily experience, so I figured it was probably the same for these guys.
For the record, I trust our military to uphold the Constitution. I just know there are a lot of Trump supporters who will never accept he lost fair and square, and most of them are well-armed and itching for a fight.
So you're saying a large portion of young white males think Nazis are cool and love spreading Nazi memes… and this is supposed to prove there is no threat?
Sounded to me like, "Hey, no big deal. Most of the guys I work with are into Nazi shit and they're cool."
Oho, now we have an adult retconning the photo and simultaneously trying to cover his ass: Dad Who Took 'Nazi Salute' Pic: Boys Were Just Waving Bye Though he admits 'the optics aren't good' Asshole is old enough to know the history. Also should have been smart enough, if what he claims is true, to say "Um, guys. Let's take another one, mmkay?"
What's the difference? That line looks pretty blurry. At what point does LARPing as a Nazi turn you into a Nazi for real? For that matter, you think very many Germans who joined the NSDAP did so setting out to do evil? I bet they thought it was funny to troll people too.
"What's the deal with Nazis? Oh, my mistake, they aren't Nazis, they just think it's funny to act like Nazis because a lot of people don't like Nazis. Guess the joke is on… who again?"
Oh, so it's okay to promote Nazis symbolism if you're "just joking and trolling liberals". God you're an idiot. Bit of a come down for a self proclaimed historian.
I'd bet the farm that not one of these people in the photograph will be involved in or attributed to a single extremist act over the course of their lifetimes. Guaran mother fucking tee you'll never hear an extremist say "the picture of those kids giving a Nazi salute in 2018 gave me the courage to blow up this school."
and "I just know" you are talking out your ass. I can't explain it, but it's pretty obvious to the non-koolaid drinkers.
So you're not trying to argue that it was all just meaningless, pointless fun? What exactly is your argument then?
