I bought my first gun right after the fat dipshit won the 2016 election. I realized that there were many more hateful, violent, dumbasses here than I'd ever imagined. I lived in a very red county at the time and I didn't think it was impossible that they might "leak" lists of registered non-Republican voters' info along with stochastic terroristic speech like "it'd be nice if my supporters who also support the 2nd amendment could do something about these misguided people."

I'm less worried about that now for various reasons, but we're not completely out of the fascist woods yet. There's a deep, festering rot and we've only treated symptoms. Until we address campaign finance, education funding, disinformation, and stronger market regulation and trust busting, we're just kicking the can down the road.
