They're really, really not as stupid as you think and underestimating them to make yourself feel better will only result in suffering for you and yours. It's enabled them to do so much damage already.
If they're really so stupid, how did they manage to pack the courts and get abortion banned? Get Trump elected?
I'd say there are more gun-owning Democrats than there are critically thinking Republicans. Trump voters are the kind of people that fall for Nigerian prince email scams...twice.
They elect figurative Nigerian princes… every fucking time
You're confusing normal Americans with the owners of the country. Also, plenty of militant leftists are armed in the US and not all gun owners are crazy fascists.
The ones that think they can win a civil war are pretty fucking dumb. They do have a lot of weaponry though and that is something we should be concerned about and needs to be acted on.
A bunch of Dems arming up isn’t the answer though. We need to make sure the war mongers don’t get back in charge and we need to keep hunting down the dangerous threats and arresting there asses.
