    Bah. I stand. That said, everyone's forgotten about that movie. Was a pretty standard bit of fare, which is why I didn't get the outrage.

    Matt Gaetz decides he's not content with just being mired in one scandal and decides it would be a good idea to Suggests Shooting People In Silicon Valley For ‘Cancel’ Culture and even Tells Fans to Carry Out ‘Armed Rebellion’ Against Government if Neccessary

    God damn can Republicans stop out doing themselves in how fucking batshit insane they are. Matt Gaetz should be stripped of his committee positions for this insane crap. Telling people to shoot up corporate offices for enforcing their own T.O.S. for their platforms.

    Conservatives are like infants you dangle keys, i.e. whatever they hate or are scared of, in front of their face and they immediately forget everything else in the world.

    Man, once upon a time this kinda talk would cause someone to be visited by the FBI and likely thrown in jail for inciting rebellion. We need some law and order!

    If he goes to trial and is thrown in prison it won’t matter if conservatives think he’s innocent or that it’s more important that he “take down socialism” than face justice.

    This was literally the very next thing he said:

    The Second Amendment—this is a little history for all the fake news media—the Second Amendment is not about hunting, it's not about recreation, it's not about sports.

    The Second Amendment is about maintaining, within the citizenry, the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government, if that becomes necessary.

    I hope it never does, but it sure is important to recognize the founding principles of this nation, and to make sure that they are fully understood.
    Obviously, Gaetz will hide behind "I hope it never does". But I feel compelled to point out, in the same breath as he said "a little history for the fake news media", he said the Second Amendment was for rebelling against the government.

    Okay. Fine. Which branch of the government are "the internet's hall monitors out in Silicon Valley" in? Because, a little history for fake news Gaetz, Silicon Valley isn't part of the government. The point of the Second Amendment, by his own admission, was not about private, non-goverment entities.

    So he's either advocating violence, a complete idiot, or both.

    Actually I don't mind this. The 2022 election will be decided by those in the middle, so the crazier these repubs get, the more we can paint the whole Republican Party with their stench. We need to get to the point where if you ask an independent if they were going to vote republican, they make a gross face and say "oh god, NO"

    On the flip side, this strategy only really works if those crazy republicans are held to task for how crazy their shit is. Soft-handed Media and/or Dems being unwilling to challenge them out on their bullshit just lets it fester and reach out to more people. Because lord knows Moderate Republicans aren't going to actually do anything.

    The thing that has become clear to me is that Gaetz has now somehow become more popular with the Republican base than he ever was.

    Republicans will happily vote for kiddy diddlers as long as it pisses off the libs.

    That's part of what it's for. The well regulated militia isn't just to protect the borders, but also to safeguard against tyranny. "...security of a free state..." Militias aren't necessarily governmental, and regulations don't have to come from the government (unless you're saying that all entities that employ security or pass regulations are government, which would mean corporations are governments). Nothing in the 2nd says that the militias are gov't entities.

    Whether or not it's plausible for a modern civilian militia to disrupt the gov't enough to allow an existential threat from an outside force to manifest is debatable, but it was clearly possible during revolutionary times and is exactly how the US came into being. It's the same as de-arming the population of conquered people. If you don't think the writers were thinking about both the arms regulations that had historically happened in what is now the UK as well as the action they had just taken part in to create our country, your view is being warped by your place in time.

    At least they're voting for someone that represents them for once.

    I'm still waiting for the Gravy Seals to get to the "WELL REGULATED" part.

    If you look, you can see the straw man walking a red herring up a slippery slope coming to join this conversation.

    Dear Republicans,

    Stop fucking kids. Stop peeping in on them when they are changing. Stop defending doing both.

    Sincerely,
    Those of us who are not scathing shitbags.

    Yeah, those people are dumb. Doesn't change the original intent of the 2nd amendment. Like I said, even if they were well regulated, it's debatable if they'd be able to form enough of a resistance to matter when the US has nuclear weapons to dissuade outside adversaries. As you said though, those dipshits aren't well regulated, which is the only hope of even making that a question.
