According to the government:
Antifa GOOD
Trump Republicans TERRORISTS

Yes, the Old Woman and I were shocked to discover that we as registered Republicans are now considered "terrorists" by our government. Time for some changes!

The idea that US government actually considers Republicans as terrorists is absurd and sounds like the product of some sort of victimization complex.

But you have to admit, it would make a great Clickbait title for a YouTube video

If the store let an Antifa supporter have a firearm and that Antifa guy used it in the commission of a felony, the store would be crucified by the government as well as by the press. The press not because it sold the gun to a probable felon but because they could! I fully support the store!

This was reported in Newsweek (hardly a right-wing rag) by WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 10/04/23, and by NY Post on 10/05/23. Now of course, since they've been outted, the agencies involved are back-peddling as fast as they can, issuing denials thru their chums in the media. Exactly like the attempted character assassination posted above.

"Republican" (or even 'conservative') and "Trump supporter / MAGA" are not synonymous

For those in the cheap seats, I AM NOT saying that specifically targeting a particular group based only on who they support for president is ok, it's not.
I'll just be over here standing back and standing by waiting for all the fallacious "No True Scotsman" arguments

You said it buddy, own it.

Own what? That I don't supported guy that:
Failed to appoint a Pro 2a ATF director?
"Doesn't like" suppressors?
Supported the bump stock ban?
Not only supported Red Flag laws but even (on video!) said "'Take the guns first, go through due process second'?

Yeah, I have never made it a secret that I don't support Trump based on his unaspiring (lack of) 2a support

THIS>>> is what you said that I called you out on:
"The idea that US government actually considers Republicans as terrorists is absurd and sounds like the product of some sort of victimization complex".
I quoted the source material indicating what was said by our government regarding Republicans and Trump supporters.
The way it stands at the moment, TRUMP is the overwhelming top dog for the Republican nomination.

First of all, I didn't say that, so you are not quoting me.
The source material I read didn't say "Republicans" without the "Trump / MAGA" qualifier, but maybe I missed it, I'll go back and look again
And being top dog over those other potential nominees isn't the brag I think that you think it is, that bar is so low it's a tripping hazard in Hades

Link to the Newsweek article:
Newsweek: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI
I suppose they will have to investigate the 74,000,000 people who voted for Trump in 2020 to determine which ones are "Trump Followers".
In times like these, I take great solace in the fact that the overwhelming majority of firearms in the US are owned by conservatives.

No sitting president will ever be a pro 2nd amendment supporter. At least not in our lifetime. Every single one will help chip away at those rights.

Especially any president worth millions of dollars. They all see us as unstable beings of labor, just barely a step above chattel.

Much like any Pro 2a ruling that comes out of this SCOTUS will only be because the Pro 2a position coincidentally aligns with whatever else the court is doing

But I can't tell you how much I hope I am wrong about that one!

To be fair, some of those items were BEFORE he had lunch with Wayne LaPierre. Now, show of hands, who else (besides me) said WLP was totally worthless. So maybe not TOTALLY?

I said that. And I stand by it. No one who matters has referred to Rs as a group as "terrorists."

Yes, there is a little extra attention being paid to fringe right people and groups. Just like there is extra attention paid to likely jihadists, and the nutbags who try to disrupt pipelines. They are all the same anyway.

There was no reason for the guy to give the store owner his crazy card. It seems like he was baiting him.
The media continues to report on this.
