...39% of Republicans agreed that “if elected leaders will not protect America, the people must do it themselves, even if it requires violent actions”
Right. So, what, 150 million people voted, and (broad strokes here guys), 40% voted for Trump? 40% of 40% of 150 million is 24,000,000.
Estimates seem to range from 1/4 to 1/6 of Americans have diagnosable mental health issues. Let's use 1/6.
That's 4,000,000.
50% of republicans have guns, so now we have (ballpark) 2,000,000 or so armed, mentally-ill people who agree that “if elected leaders will not protect America, the people must do it themselves, even if it requires violent actions”.
You see the problem here! It only takes a tiny fraction of that already-risky population for something really fucking bad to happen!
it’s almost like you agree with the intelligence community, without having the same access to their “intelligence”

I quote from Apollo 13 to an almost-alarming degree, so: I can add.

than i suppose all this makes "defunding the police" an even stupider notion.

actually, it just bolsters the need to REDIRECT POLICE FUNDING to mental health resources
and, to continue pushing for better gun control, since we all know how much overlap there is between gun owners and the other groups relevant to the discussion

The chef's-kiss here is the disproportionate representation of white supremacists in law enforcement.

The remaining law enforcement personnel. Defunding the Police just got saddled with a terrible catch phrase that seems to make certain minded people think all police forces nationwide would be disbanded and replaced with counselors. That isn't the case although I am pretty sure you are aware of that.

Depends on whether the grand jury thinks charges are appropriate for him, and/or any of his cronies, and/or the Trump organization, for now

I guess low readership did it in.
That, and cuz he still has aspirations for his own social media network.
You know, since running an entire social media network isn’t much more difficult than a blog

Is this thread still about Trump or is it okay to post about Biden in here since he's actually the dumbfuck in charge now?
