    “I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,”

    Trump banned bump stocks, which laid the basis for the pistol brace ban, both of which conservative 2a meisters absolutely love, right? And this was at a NRA conference? I don’t get how people know he did that and hate him for it, but will immediately forget their hatred in order to defend him on any other ground. MAGA is a cult.

      He was worse for guns than Biden. How the fuck do these people reconcile this shit with their beliefs?

        Being a member of the pro-gun community already requires living in a fantasy. A few more lies and hollow promises shouldn’t be a problem for them.

            You’re joking, but the covfefe thing was almost more ridiculous, given they pretended it was intentional and claimed that an inside group knew exactly what he meant.

              Like, how can you even combat that level of stupidity? You’d need crocodiles to get through to them.

        “HEYY! That’s a blatant foul! Doesn’t the umpire see this? Is he blind?! Wait- what did you say? That’s one of ours? WOOOO GOO TEAM, NO FOUL, USA USA USA!”

        The state of politics since ca 300 BCE. Now with nukes!
