Progtards have yet to realize that their insane, violent, rhetoric and actions didn’t just cause the Overton Window to shift. Instead they ripped the window right out of the frame and destroyed the wall.
Therefore, nothing is Unthinkable any more.
Chris’s ‘toon today is prophetic. Except when it comes to pass, it won’t involve Tasers.
It’s becoming the wild West again, when sidearms was the norm. Nobody considered challenges without consequences. Everybody respected spaces. I could get used to it.
Human beings choose to follow belief systems, religious, political, or otherwise, which sanctify the sort of actions they would do anyway. The belief system just lets them feel self-righteous about what they want to do to others.
Second Law
If someone repeatedly and constantly tells you that he wants to kill you, you owe him the courtesy of assuming he really means it and responding appropriately.
Third Law
Hunter S. Thompson once observed that “entire empires have been done in by vengeful freaks claiming a special relationship with God”.
He forgot the even greater number of polities destroyed by even more vengeful freaks who believed that they, themselves, were God.
Close quote.
“Progressivism” does not “make” people monsters. It’s just attractive to people who already have that mindset and are looking for approval for being that way.
As Ayn Rand said, these are people who don’t want to “live”- they want to get away with living, which is something entirely different.
The problems arrive when those sorts of people come to believe that they can “get away” with anything.
I’m very much afraid that that’s where we are now.

An armed society is a polite society……….
Well they Are domestic terrorists.
The Left has repeatedly and consistently self-identified as an Existential Threat to the constitutional republic that is the United States of America.
They ARE the domestic enemy the oath tells us about.
Well, y’all might want to remember the OK Corral fracus in Tombstone was over gun control…and the Earps were the one’s doing the “controlling”….
Buckle up, buttercup.
“Him?”
