I watched those MAGAs marching at a State Capital

carrying their ARs. That''s in a state with a Democratic woman governor. Then I hear Tramp saying the next day that those Democratic Governors want to take away the 2nd Amendment.

So why are NO GUNS allowed at Tramp Rallies?

First, they wouldn't know irony if it took on mass with the density of osmium.
Second, even if it was "ironic", what point was being made?
Nobody is being arrested. Nobody is being sanctioned. Even these tools didn't get in trouble.
70% of everything is still operating.
So, even irony, as it compares to 1930s Germany doesn't fit. It's stupid.
The only conclusion is that is wasn't ironic, and those guys were Nazi slime.

When trump said about the Chinese:
“It would have been so much easier to tell the truth.”

If a swastika is displayed by these people anywhere, anytime, it has only one meaning.

The only irony in it is that our fathers and grandfathers fought these same jerks across Europe. The swastikas displayed at this demonstration stand for death, concentration camps, misery, hatred and war.

they would use venues that allowed people to be strapped ...

And fact is, he has absolutely rallied in places that it would be possible.

walk out the door. They'll still be ignorant white wing racists, but less of a threat to society.

Which goes to show these protests are nothing more than acts. Each one of them is expecting the person beside them to make the first move.
