It took me a moment to realize it was about AR as in AR-15 the gun and not augmented reality
It would be cool to see an arrow with a pig emoji pointing at police out of uniform.
awesome, so no innocent people will get hurt
He thinks he’s talking to conservatives, playing on their “thin blue line” sympathies. But like every other rank-and-file Democrat, he has failed to read the fucking room. The right-wing in America showed us on January 6th 2021 that their support of law enforcement is purely conditional, and will be revoked the minute they don’t get their way. And the Left? We always hated cops.
His message reached zero people.
Your terms are acceptable.
Well, based on the average marksmanship displayed by most American shooters, those cops and soldiers can probably expect to go about their business with absolute safety.
The
ICEGestapo agents, more likely.I’d love to see some reports of “gun toting Americans” blasting the shit out of ICE agents. The problem is ice agents and gun toting Americans are the same group.
that’s a fucking lie. there’s plenty of armed leftists. not enough (yet) but plenty.
join us. there is no other way to stop the dystopia from spreading.
We’re not all in the same group… I’m not an ICE agent, but I am a gun toting
Americanworking class person.I have noticed that ICE usually wants to conduct their splashy raids in areas with very low gun ownership, e.g., NYC, Boston, etc.
Everyone should own a copy of Guerilla Warfare by Che Guevara.
Ngl I do get the arguments against gun control in the abstract, and I’m maybe even sympathetic to some of them, but then I look at America and ehhhhhh
If those soldiers and cops are there solely at the behest of s despot like the current one in office then they are expendable
Good argument against republican gun nuts at least who seem to be quite fond of law enforcement
Yeah no shit buddy. It’s come to that point. I like you Pete, but don’t bury your head in the sand on this one. American soldiers defend fascism.
Nah, every time pete pops up it’s something stupid that makes me like him less and less.
Maybe because he would be a fairly normal right wing figure in another country?
They’re talking about how this tweet is from 2018. Different situation then.
2018 was a different time
No, we knew it was fascism then too.
No it wasn’t. Hell, it was even 2 years into the first Trump term.
Do you think he would say anything different now?
I think his audience has shifted
In what ways?
What has Pete done to make you believe he is going after an audience that would disagree with this statement and/or that he would now disagree with this statement?
Your initial comment was that “2018 was a different time” I’m trying to understand what you think has changed so drastically since then.
I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.
I like you Pete
Why, though? He’s a Neoliberal proponent of Reaganomics Lite and McKinsey grad (but I repeat myself) who keeps failing upwards.
What’s disgusting? Union busting.
Leftists with guns: this is fine
If you ever bought a gun because you thought you would use it to kill the people you hate the most, stop and consider that I am one of those people
