Discussion: Trump: Make Sure You Vote Or Dems Will Take Away Your Second Amendment

TPM Article Topics

Wish I could remember the attribution for the quote about the 1964 election:
“They told me that if I voted for Goldwater we would be fighting a war in Vietnam in 6 months. I did and we were.”

Hopefully DOTUS is similarly prescient: “[T]hey will repeal your tax cuts, they will put judges in that you wouldn’t believe. … They’ll take away your second amendment. Remember that. … They will take away those massive tax cuts, and they will take away your Second Amendment.”

Your lips to God’s ear, Prez Cheeto.

Of course, because if they make guns illegal then “only the criminals” will have guns.

My apologies to every dog in the country, because yes, that dogwhistle is loud enough to hear even when typed.

More inflammatory, incendiary, and divisive lies.

ATF agents walk into a gun nut’s home. Gun nut has a dozen prized weapons. Assault rifles, hand guns, shot guns, collector long rifles. ATF agent says “Give me your guns, or give me your kids.”

Gun nut asks for a few minutes to think about it.

That’s how goddamned much the gun nut crowd cares about kids.

Not “repeal” the second amendment. “Take away”.

The deficient dotard’s third-grade vocabulary is, as always, weak and sad.

It grosses me out whenever IQ45 does his schmooze sing song voice which tells you he’s gas lighting. Makes my skin crawl, I can even tell when he’s doing it with the volume on mute by the way he cocks his head and uses one of his tiny hands for emphasis.

Donald Trump is America. America elected him President, under the laws in place for conducting an election. And we are a government of laws, and not of men.


“A government of laws, and not of men.”

– John Adams, Novanglus Essays, No. 7.

Combat soldiers learn to lay down a field of fire. I don’t think such a thing is appropriate for inside a school.

Well sure, libtard, may as well surrender to the the maniacs now, then!

What if we hire only the most tremendous, beautiful combat veterans?

i.e.-Kill black people. Isn’t that essentially still the purpose?

Stephen Colbert focuses on that in his imitation—the strangely effeminate quality, the falling inflection like a jaded Edwardian fop, it’s really not something I’ve ever heard before.

The usual bray from the ignorant and well-armed.

Run for office- and run FOR something! Don’t just run against Trump. You’ll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some people’s minds, that ‘the elites’ are out to get their man.

Get REAL specific, too. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. THEN point out the difference between having a plan, and promising to work on a plan “very soon”.

This site, https://www.runforoffice.org/, allows you to enter your ZIP code and see what offices are available to you and the filing window for that office. They also have a few video short-courses on running a campaign. In my state you file for office during a 1-week period in May, just three months from now.

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. Meet your neighbors and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump, and half of all voters stayed home last November. Today’s 10-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly. And get on your Planning Commission.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020 when we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about ‘voter fraud’!

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run around help them do that. This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table.

Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots. Get crackin’!

Impeachment is what Trump’s worried about if Dems win the Mid-terms. The Second Amendment is just red meat bs to motivate his NRA backers.
