As I listen to or read some of the comments of the anti-lockdown protestors, it occurs to me that if

[Atticus]

they were somehow required to use only words they could define and only chant slogans they could explain, they would have precious little to say.

If the spittle-flecked MAGAt screaming "This is communism!" was asked "How so?", do you think he'd have an answer that made sense?

If the wild-eyed woman insisting "This is not a pandemic!" was asked "What IS a pandemic?", would we hear anything beyond sputtering profanity?

They chant slogans created by others because mindlessness is their comfort zone.

They carry assault weapons because they believe those make thought and reason unnecessary.

1. Add in "I refuse to live in fear." But it is okay if I use my weapons to instill fear. Neverending

circular bullshit.

[Marcuse]

7. But they do live in abject fear of _____ . That's their point.

[SCantiGOP]

2. I argue with these idiots regularly

In the comments section of my local on-line newspaper.
One guy was ranting that the lockdown was pure Communism.
I asked him how declaring a public health emergency was related to having the government own the means of production. Still waiting for his response.

8. Of course he can't answer. RWers use "communist" as a substitute for "poopy face." They have no idea

what it actually means, they just have a notion lodged in (what passes for) their minds that it means something bad.

3. People INCAPABLE of thinking on their own......

Who are so gullible and believe everything they are told to think.

[Beartracks]

4. And what's weird is that that's what they think liberals are like.

The irony is that they've been TOLD that liberals are people who want to tell them what to think.

5. Are they even locals is my 1st question, and next is: After 60,000 deaths, still a hoax?

Offer them free tour of Brooklyn, NY hospitals?

See where their loyalty really i$?

6. ask them no questions, and they'll tell you no lies.

9. I also think they carry assault weapons because rage and intimidation are their comfort zones.
