We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

    The right wants the right to self defense, the left wants to lick boots, the right thinks that deporting illegal immigrants is the default, the left thinks that it’s another Holocaust, the right thinks that the government spending less money is good, the left wants the government to burn money like it’s coal.

    So yeah… The part about being lied to. Right there. It’s all right there.

    There are plenty of gun owners on the left for one and the conversation is pretty much always about the excessive “weapons of war” like assault rifles. Very few people are talking about getting rid of shotguns, hunting rifles, pistols, etc… hell Kamala even said she’s a gun owner, I think she owns a Glock or something. If the part about licking boots is about resisting the military, you’re just not doing that at all no matter what small arms you have and I’m pretty sure we’re not allowed as it is to own a tank or missiles.

    There is an increase of discussion of actual concentration camps because you don’t need to gas people for it to be a concentration camp. The internment camps for the Japanese in WWII were concentration camps too. The right could help fix the immigration issue if they’d focus on a plan to legally process the people faster that want to move here so there isn’t a 10 year waiting period that makes people feel like they have to enter illegally, but they’re against that.

    The last is just straight up nonsense. No one wants to just burn money. We already pay taxes, we want the taxes to help people, not just go to the military and corporate handouts.

      Technically the left does want “the government to burn money like it’s coal” - we don’t want either to be burned :p
