		<description>YOU were the one that popped on here with a one line post accusing us of wanting to &#039;Take yer guns&#039;... a tired old trope, really, not very original. Then coupled that with the juvenile fantasy that &#039;patriotic&#039; gun owners are what stands between us and tyranny... 

The fact is the rabid gun nuts are the same ones LICKING THE BOOTS OF AUTHORITARIANS.
 I don&#039;t see them- or you- taking a stand against the efforts to sabotage the mail in vote process by gutting the USPS. NOT a peep from you, Rob.

Remember way back months ago I asked you if you supported vote by mail, and you said yes? I made a point of getting you on the record then because I could see clearly that we were heading to this exact situation... how do you feel about mailed in ballots now, Rob? Because there is only one side working to nullify as many of them as possible, and that&#039;s the side you chose to stand with....

You say you are against the armed voter intimidation tactics, bot only your side is engaged in that, your candidate is the only one encouraging it.

Now, Trump is saying that votes counted after election day are not legal- you and the &#039;patriotic&#039; gun owners are not offering a bit of protest, instead they are flocking to cheer him on - without masks- at his covid super-spreader rallies.

You and the other &#039;patriots&#039; are only too happy to lick the boots of any strongman that reassures you that its ok to be the selfish bigoted assholes you know you are. You are chickenshit chickenhawks  that want to blame others for your failures- mexicans, the liberal elite, the &#039;lazy&#039; poor - THEY are the reason you failed.

I really AM flattered that you think little ol&#039; me drove away all the right wingers- if that were true I would genuinely be honored to hold the title of &#039;Destroyer of Deplorables&#039;, but I know the truth- about you and your fellow fascists. You are blinded to that truth by your ever-present need to be the victim (THAT above all else is what drew you to Trump, he satisfies that need in you).

The truth is the &#039;conservatives&#039; quickly realized that Trump would put them in an impossible position. They were used to getting talking points and excuses from a well organized machine, with some consistency. They realized that Trump would do the inexcusable, issue a defense that was a transparent lie, and then when that lie was exposed (usually within a day, by Trump himself) Trump would do something even more inexcusable as a distraction.

Your fellow fools were smart enough to understand that in order to stay here they would have to either pretend that they were stupid enough to honestly believe the lies, or just admit that the lies were not a problem for them, and they never really believed the conservative positions they had held for so long on here.

They would have to say they were ok with the insults to the veterans and war dead. They would have to say that those they hailed as patriots before were actually now evil members of the deep state. They would have to be ok with parroting the talking points fed to them in defense of Trump, only to have them undercut within hours by Trump himself.

They were at least smart enough to realize that - you, well... you were not.

They still check in, and some of them will even read this little exchange, but they don&#039;t dare post... not out any fear of me. They simply know that what they have become - what they have done- what they have supported in their names cannot be excused or justified. They had to admit all they claimed to stand for was a sham when they threw their support to Trump.

I certainly do not mean to suggest they regret it- they don&#039;t, they understand that what is being done is treason, un-american, and unjustifiable... they just don&#039;t care. Some even realize that it is destroying the future for their grandchildren, they just feel that outraging the smug liberals is worth it.

Sure, it is irrational- but what about electing a reality show con-man is rational?

Is that a fine enough brush for you, Rob? I could make it much finer, of course, I could paint in the fine filigree details of the motivations for the various individuals in question- but it would make no real difference. Suffice it to say that their motivating factors- and yours as well- for supporting this betrayal of america and the 100&#039;s of thousands of deaths that have resulted CAN be painted with a broad brush. They are failures, they have failed to achieve what they felt they should have in life, and they needed an excuse- permission to blame others, and- most importantly- they needed to see others suffer for it. And they are getting that need satisfied beyond their wildest expectations!

Trump gave you, and 10&#039;s of millions of your fellow junkies, that fix. And the rush that it gives you is something you will gladly kill to keep. Millions may die, but as long as you can blame others for what you did to yourselves, you will be just fine.    

Now let&#039;s get to the forgeries...

The poster personae of the conservatives here was always an act- they only put on the act of being &#039;patriots&#039; because patriotism was a crude but heavy club to wield against those that disagreed with them. They only put on a pretense of having rational reasoned positions, because they knew that exposing their actual bigoted beliefs would get them quickly ostracized here.

So they presented a passable forgery here... but once Trump won they felt they could go elsewhere and bare their true selves in public forums without fear... their racist hate was &#039;in&#039; again at long last- they could &#039;say what they really thought&#039; without fear- since the president was making it acceptable again....

Just look at FrankC, he put on an act here just like the rest of them- but now, well now he is openly a white nationalist... 

They were not exiled from this place, Rob- they simply came to believe that they could go elsewhere and be their true, ugly, bigoted selves... without repercussions.

We will see about that, I guess- the memory of the internet is long. If Trump loses I wonder how long they will be comfortable with their children and grandchildren being able to look up what vile things they were happy to espouse in the madness of the Trump years.

I suspect there will be much awkwardness at family get-togethers for decades to come.
You have already lost the respect of many close to you these past 4 years, haven&#039;t you?
Who will you blame for that...?
What suffering will they have to endure so that you will feel redeemed?</description>

		<description>I favor registration, background checks and a waiting period. All private sales should be processed by a licensed gun dealer. Firearm training should be mandatory. I have no love for militias and find gunmen at the polls abhorrent.

Former members of the &quot;community&quot; grew tired of your constant hyperbole, overshadowed by attacks on character.
You are the sole reason for the exodus. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re proud of yourself.</description>

		<description>ER is fully responsible for his opinion... he is a man perfectly capable of analyzing the facts and coming to a rational conclusion without needing his opinions spoon fed to him.

That is the difference between a man, and whatever the hell you are.</description>

		<description>You should find a way for that to get out to a wider audience, ER... that was concise, on target, and powerful.

		<description>Trump and the GOP aren&#039;t Hitler and the Nazis.  They don&#039;t want to exterminate the Jews and occupy all Europe West of the Urals. This is a kinder, gentler, more benign fascism, an American kind.

They just want to modify the country so he and his friends can run the economy so its profitable for them, and to hell with the workers, the unemployed, the unions, the middle class, the environment and the poor. Oh yeah, there will be jobs, but there will be no benefits. And he won&#039;t get rid of elections, either, he&#039;ll just fix them so he (or his pals) can never lose one.  Hell, they&#039;ve got elections in Russia, too, but Putin and his oligarchs are safe from losing their jobs, aren&#039;t they?

You cowboys actually believe your duty in history is to fight a guerilla war against Chinese paras, or oppose the jack-booted Washington goons and their black helicopters?  No,your fate is to spend the rest of your lives in debt, working shit jobs with no benefits (if you&#039;re lucky enough to get even that in our gig economy).  And your kids, or your kid&#039;s kids (depending on your age), can just kiss home ownership, college and career goodbye because that is now going to be reserved only for those who &lt;del datetime=&quot;2020-10-28T20:59:00+00:00&quot;&gt;can afford&lt;/del&gt; deserve it.
After all, in Republican World, if you&#039;re not an awntreprenewer, you ain&#039;t shit.

So what are you gonna do with all that second amendment firepower you lovingly stroke while you&#039;re whimpering in the dark, terrified of imminent attack by niggers, spics, muslims and liberal elitists? (Not to mention Deep State Black Ops teams!) Have you ever heard of &#039;divide and conquer&#039;? You&#039;re gearing up to fight the wrong enemy, pal.  You&#039;re being set up to do their crowd control for them.  

But we aren&#039;t your enemies, we&#039;re your fellow victims.

And when he finally runs the whole country, maybe the world, into the ground, you&#039;re going to wind up turning all those ARs and AKs against each other because you were too fucking dumb to figure out who the real enemy was.

Remember how he was going to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out who were stealing your jobs?  Well the only ones stopped at the border are those he hasn&#039;t hired to pick his fruit, buss his tables, make his beds or cut his lawns.

Chump.  Go play with your gun, just don&#039;t shoot yourself in the ass.</description>

&lt;/a&gt;


&lt;blockquote&gt;A Michigan judge has blocked a ban on openly carrying firearms at Michigan polling places on Election Day.

Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray granted a preliminary injunction to pro-gun groups who filed motions to block the directive issued by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Oct. 16.

Benson sought to prohibit firearms at polling places, clerk&#039;s offices and other locations where absentee ballots will be tallied. Her order also barred individuals openly carrying guns from coming within 100 feet of buildings serving as polling centers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>For 4 years you&#039;ve been saying a Hitler incarnate will destroy American democracy. Are we going to look back and wonder why a people who claim to cherish freedom rolled over and did nothing about it?

The Taliban defeated the Soviet Army with some surplus RPGs, geographical advantages and ingenuity, and they&#039;ve kept American might at bay for almost 20 years. When I saw Schindler&#039;s List, I couldn&#039;t help but wonder if the Jews had the means and the will, would the outcome have been different. They might not have been able to defeat the Nazis but the could have made it difficult for them.


I&#039;ll admit that Hillary&#039;s deplorables exist and the Wolverine fantasy is part of their psyche. If they fear confiscation, instead of picking a fight they should follow Heston&#039;s lead.

We&#039;re not going to protect the vote by hobbling the 2nd amendment.</description>
