*being anti-anti rape, screwed that one up

He seems to me a man who struggled to understand his place in the world, who when removed from a horrible environment worked to better establish himself, who carries reflections of a past he isn’t proud of, and didn’t attempt to rectify or change. I hope he is honest and changes for the better.

But sure, I can understand why someone who did 4 tours would be enticed to work for the State department and not quite know what you’re getting into.

FIN: I’m disappointed he didn’t consider these reflections on his character or to signify that he is not representing the whole truth.

…he has changed his views, and that he is a different person (marines are fairly pro-cop, so I see it as a change in perspective)

5. The Blackwater argument against him doesn’t quite work, he signed up in 2018, left that same year, and has been open about his decision. Wish he denounced it more…

Given where he was coming from in 2013 (reenlisting, shitty environment, angry), still not good. Being anti-rape is bad but he seems to be a product of environment, and seems to have moved past it but I’m not sure

4. His 2021 comments about white people being racist and stupid support my idea that…

Insure it never happens. Many guns are owned by hoarders with no other real hobby. It’s more of a toy with them, and not an instrument.

TL/DR: I hate most right wing gun owners, they don’t care about reality, just the fantasy the Republicans can spin for absolute fucking idiots.

inflict violence and injury to those around you. You aren’t trained to handle that in public, much less under stress.

You don’t have any kind of training that can stop a tyrannical regime on your own, so stop being such god damn libertarians.

You vote for gun access but not for real measures to…

That bad, huh?

For the record, simply removing Netanyahu would not solve the issues of Ben Gvir, Smotrich, etc.

It certainly would harm the government if they are forced to completely replace the government in the middle of a war and can lead to a delay that can save lives. Like ffs, work with what you got.!

They can claim all they want that they are making a change in the world, but being obnoxious online and to your family is less impactful than the whole “I have a massively popular TV show that reaches liberals better than socialists” thing.
