    I’m more curious what those fellas out in the boonies yelling we don’t want ANY government and stockpile ammo and train and such are thinking.

    But I guess some some of their interests align so…

      That was my Dad.

      He was a lifelong republican who listened to Rush Limbaugh and was terrified of Immigrants. Literally thought Obama was the literal antichrist. Built a bunker and went “off grid” to avoid societal collapse.

      Those people’s lives are based only on fear. Anything unknown to them is to be distrusted, feared, or destroyed. If this same shit happened when Dad was alive and youthful, he probably would have been wearing an ICE vest.

      They are happy that the government is finally killing libs. It’s even more fun that it was obviously MURDER, and they are going to get away with it.

      They realize that this brings them one step closer to the day when Trump says the gloves are off, and he’ll pardon anyone who “stops” a liberal, and they can finally start settling scores on their personal list of enemies with impunity.

          But that’s step 2, maybe 3. They can’t calculate that far ahead. Tic Tac Toe is challenging for these people.
