Funny how “Don’t tread on me” turns into “stay silent” when it’s not your rights being trampled.

Pretty sure that’s not what happened with the Jan 6th insurrectionists. They harmed our LEOs and got a Presidential pardon. Every. Single. One.

Remember all those trucks that had 3% decal on them. All “molon labe” and “We the People” stuff? Where are they now? Oh that’s right… They’ve BECOME the people they were promising to fight.
