white conservatives think that what the 2nd amendment guarantees is not just the right for white people to bear arms, but the inviolable right for white people to be *presumed safe* while bearing arms, by both civilians and authorities, both before and after any killings
The suspect is a male, age 21 years, armed with several rifles and at least one handgun. Seven are dead, three others injured; authorities seek the gunman to find out if he is white, and, if so, what the dead did to deserve it, or perhaps how bad of a day he was having.
And yet so many 2nd amendment people are currently trying to overthrow the constitution, and shooting and threatening to shoot Black Lives Matter and other protesters who demand we followed it for the first time in the nation's history, it's weird.
Do you know what white conservatives say about Black people and guns? because it’s not that they should use them to rise up against a tyrannical government.
I know there was one the last time a group of white supremacists ad hoc decided the government had abandoned the constitution, and peeled off a bunch of the military to help.
Yes this is a perfect example of what white conservatives think.
I live in Michigan. I can’t step outside to get a breathe of fresh air without hearing what white conservatives think.
It’s probably worth investigating what it is about the white conservative disconnection from reality that they read the OP and it translates for them that I am saying black people don’t own guns. It’s a pretty common response.
And yet “black supremacists” are nowhere near as great a threat as white supremacists, while white conservatives are writing laws to make it legal to drive cars into crowds.
Yes, this is a great example of what white conservatives say about guns not owned by white people.
Yes, this is precisely the sort of non sequitur white conservatives say to defend their own inviolable innocence whenever guns are brought up, great examples, keep them coming.
White conservatives love to ask if you’ve been to a city they’ve never been to, in order to prove a point about YOUR ignorance.
It’s expensive, but literally what is this? Are we just going to list cool cities that have a lot of interesting things happening?

What a sad terrified existence.
I’d like to thank all the white conservatives who found this thread and were offended; offense very much intended and tyvm for so thoroughly proving my point with your rebuttals.

The Accommodation Is The Supremacy

Republicans are killing their own constituents by the thousands, and their constituents love them for it. Wondering why?

Look to the swimming pools.

getrevue.co/profile/julius…
In the 1950s and 60s, municipalities started to integrate their public swimming pools, in part due to legal mandates, in part because of the fact that segregation is cruel and unjust, and people have always known that, no matter what people say now about “a different time.”
So, municipalities—whether voluntarily or not—made public spaces available to everybody. A simple thing. A good thing. The right thing.

What happened was this: white people violently rioted.

The fascist, white supremacist political party Republican that works nearby is trying to end abortion rights, marriage equality, the struggle against institutionalized racism and poverty, and any hope of an equal, pluralistic modern society.
You can laugh at these pathetic men, and probably you should, but you should also realize that the most powerful political party in our country, seemingly able to control public policy in or out of power, with 35%-40% support, acts primarily to support their point of view.
Here's what I want people to understand about the marching Nazis:

They believe society is the preferential property of white people above all others. They are supremacists.

Our political and social systems are oriented to accommodate their point of view.

That is the supremacy.

Our current situation is: Republicans are actively doing harm to US citizens, partly for political advantage, partly for profit, partly because they want people harmed.

Many others would rather protect the rules and systems that allow this, than subvert those rules to fight it.
This is from my hometown, about the place where my wife works, and I encourage you to read it.

It describes a war zone.

The war is being waged by a political party acting to spread a virus and suppress all remedy.

They can do this because our system is designed to let them.
Our governor, a Democrat, took responsible & extraordinary precautions at the start of this pandemic, for which she was ritually attacked by the Republican president & her gerrymandered Rep. state legislature, & faced violent threat, plotting, & actions from Rep. voters.

Sometimes a tweet comes along that perfectly encapsulates the writer's entire worldview, and folks,
If you'd do unethical shit to help out your brother if he's embroiled in scandal, you'd do unethical shit to help out your brother if he's not embroiled in scandal.

Not even knowing that a completely situational morality isn't something to proudly proclaim? That's our MattY!
"Before you go judging Andrew Cuomo for unethically using his media role to spread misinformation about the abusive practices of his brother, the Governor of New York, keep in mind he had a SERIOUS conflict of interests."

Is not a defense. Thinking it is? Yikes.

I'm right here, Josh. I never left.
Nothing less manly than endlessly worrying over what is manly and what isn't, in my opinion.

Manly men are just manly, and that encompasses an extremely wide spectrum of appearance and behavior.
Idea: Hawley's mistake is an insistence that "manly" and "womanly" are opposites.

They aren't. A man isn't less manly for having qualities considered "feminine."

What if being unmanly just means being insecure about maleness? What if the idea of "real men" is an unmanly idea?

The downtown hospital in my MI city is getting National Guard medical to help deal with a massive surge of ~95% unvaxxed Covid patients—and all I can think is next time we have a Republican governor that won't happen b/c fighting deadly diseases is a partisan issue now.
The great idea of the Republican Party is that government is always bad, and therefore government will always fail ... which led them to strategically try to make government always fail ... which led, eventually, inevitably, to this.

It's a civic murder/suicide pact.
The idea of government preventing a million deaths is, apparently, a more terrible outcome to conservative politicians and the majority of their voters than is a million preventable deaths.
