Is anyone still pretending ICE is about immigration? ICE is Trump's SS, and they just got funding beyond any dictator's wildest dreams. Good luck with your totalitarian police state.
Edit: I want to retract my last sentence. It was callous and stupid. My heart aches for the people who fought against this.
Don't worry, the gun nuts will stand up against the totalitarian regime.
That's how it was supposed to be, until the Right co-opted firearms as an entire personality, and the liberal response was to spread ignorance, miseducation, and fear about them so that their party branding looked different enough.
So now all the insecure, hateful, scared-of-everybody violence-fantasists are armed, knowledgeable, and stocked.
And those that would oppose authoritarianism en masse were force-fed "Only cops and the military should be armed and the rest of us should just wish they didn't exist".
So they're now largely rendered toothless and clawless normies who think flash hiders, rail grips, and black paint make a weapon "more lethal." And don't know what to do with themselves if pickets and law systems don't have an effect.
Meanwhile the "patriotic" bullies ramble about "freedom" and "small government" whilst simping for their fascist overlords unopposed by any actual threat.
Like most loud bullies, most are the types that would likely break if met with any actual opposition that could do them harm.
I don't want to see it come to this, but we need to educate and train ourselves before it's too late. The threat alone might be enough to put them in their place.
It's very clear nobody is coming to save us from this worsening state of affairs.
Its probably time we all become the gun nuts at least while they still let us
