They said this is what Clinton, Obama and Biden were going to do. This is why they supported the NRA, "to keep us safe from government tyranny." Now that it's here and happening, these fuckers are quiet. "Obey authority" they say. Should we obey like they did on January 6, 2021?
for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum
