    This feels like a deadly misunderstanding of both the people who you’re referring to (they’re getting exactly the thing they want why would they try to stop fascism), and also the argument for why leftists should have been 2a the whole time.

    Like, don’t let the desire to be correct pull you this far into the weeds. They will never care that they’re hypocrites, they just want you dead.

      I know. I was being sarcastic. The common argument for 2A is that their ancestors needed guns to fight fascism.

      I never seriously thought they’d do the same. I just think it’s funny that they pretended for so long. Most couldn’t load a musket.
