Republicans don't seem to believe that it was "one of them" who did it. They're blaming literally everybody else
They have always been that meme of the kid shoving a stick into his bike and flipping over the bars
And you're surprised about this?
They've been doing this forever.
Cuts taxes for rich, raises taxes on working class.
Gets voted out.
"Look at what anyone else but me did, vote me back in"
At no point was I surprised by any of this
Yet, somehow, they always seem to wriggle their way back in 🤔
Looking forward to seeing what they'll say about the cache full of guns they found in the attempted assassin's house.
Well duh, they're liberal guns
Don't give them ideas. They'll start calling for gun control, but only for people on the left.
Random musing related to US gun control, but at least from this particular rando Finn's perspective the American mentality regarding guns is sometimes just really fucking puzzling. I mean yes I get the historical whoop-te-doo that led to things being how they are now and what the rationale is behind US gun culture & laws and so on, but even given the context it doesn't make sense to me. It also seems like lots of Americans agree that things are… well, not optimal right now and would want tighter controls, but by all appearances gun control is such a political minefield that it seems to be hard to get things fixed, and I've understood that eg. Republicans have a real tendency of being really pro control when it comes to restricting the ability of "unwanted" people to own guns. And then there's how the culture around guns plays into all this, of course.
It's the only song they know.
